Drag tires please help
I am want to compeat in the corvette challange this year , i have a 2000 a4 w 3:73 and a 3600 stall. please let me know what tires work for you @ the track. I wanted to put them on my factory rims if possible . i upgraded wheels so i was hoping not to buy new rims. is there a good 18" drag tire that will hook with my combination, and fit on the factory 18 x 9.5 rim. thanks guys!

I'd pick up a set of factory 17's and use M/T E.T. Street RADIALS in P275/40R17 if you plan on swapping wheels at the track. If not, BFG's do ok on the street and hook pretty well too. Nittos work ok, but are the most street friendly, especially in the rain.
