Traction
Just installed a 3:73 gear on my 2005 auto and are having issues with traction at the race track.
I am thinking of buying a set of rear wheels with drag radial tires to swap at the track.
Anyone here ever used multiple types of tire manufactures who can advise what works best?
Thanks.

I live in Montgomery TX and I have a set of 17" wheels with Hoosier drag tires that I no longer have a use for. The tires are 70-80% tread if not more and they are garage kept. If your interested let me know.
