Radial

Okay so I am looking for new tires, I'm looking for a street radial that has a really soft compound so I can actually hook. Currently have nitto Invo's so I don't want to get the same tire again. The tires will be going on a 19x10.5 rim. Any recommendations? Looking for toyos or Mickey thompsons.

Thanks!

Nitto's NT05r or 555r would be a lot better than the Invo by far. As long as its the "r"

You cant get Mickey Thompsons for a 19" tire or even Nitto NT05r's.
They do both have 18" options.

Okay thank you! I'm going to use my old wagon wheels for the new tires. I believe 17x8?
