For what application? What size rims?

275 pro, 295 et ss, 325 et R, hoosier QTP, MT bias ply. Could be any of those based on what you are doing or others.

I ran a weld 15x10 with a 275/60/15 et street ss on the street on my mustang.
I had no complaints about the set up and I didn't have issues with hooking up from a dig. a lot of people with 700-900 range run that tire and do decent. Also take into consideration suspension helps a lot to make a car hook.
