What drag radials?
I’ve been out of the game awile and just picked up a H/C 2003 zo6 with 18 inch iforged 18x11 wheels. The car makes over 450. It has regular Michelin’s on it and has absolutely zero traction. Back in the day everyone ran nitto 555r’s. What the new hotness out and what tire can handle all this power? Thanks guys.

555R's will handle that no problem and give you some semblance of street life too. I used to run them at over 750 RWHP.
If you feel you must step past that, the Mickey Thompson or Nitto NT05R drag radials are hard to beat.

Love the M/T they drive decent and stick, have them full time on an older toy.
M and H even better for hooking up...just be ready they dont last nearly as long.
No fun breaking them loose by accident at 60 in traffic
