Best MT 17" Drag radial size
Whats the best MT Et Street drag radial size. I am currently running 275/40/17's on a set of front c5z06 rims. But I wonder if it wouldnt be better to get something with alittle bigger sidewall for more flex and spring off the line or just stick with these because they are slightly shorter acting like the rear would have say a 3.73 or so.

I just received my ET streets today.
They changed the tread a little, they look just like the M&H's.
I like 'em.

What about Ranger what is he running? I'm getting ready to look into the same type tire set up.....I also wanted to re-look at the guys who are running the best 60 foot times in the quarter and find out what it is that they are putting on for shoes in the back?

Ranger ran 315/35-17 BFG Drag radials.
He used C5Z front wheels. 17x9.5
He also used C4 ZR1 rear wheels. 17x11
I just switched to Mickey Thompson ET street radials.
BIG DIFFERENCE on the street. I think the strip will prove the same.
