What size rear wheels and what type (and size tires) on this beast?
Also, did he manage to keep his massive carbon ceramic rear brakes?
I didn't notice him doing any burnouts. Did he not do any before each run?

So Mickey Thompson ET Street R?
How does they handle the repeated runs at that speed?
I bought 18x12 Forgestar C5F wheels. I have a twin turbo C6 ZO6 with twin turbos (probably make around 1200 rwhp) and was considering going with a M&H Race Masters, but they told me that their drag radials with blister and won't stand up to the heat of rolling up to 60 mph, then nailing it til about 185 or so.
Do you agree, and if you weren't using M/T ET Street Rs, which tire would you recommend?

Congrats by the way. That's one hell of an achievement. So Mickey Thompson ET Street R? How does they handle the repeated runs at that speed? I bought 18x12 Forgestar C5F wheels.
