Got my Sportsman SR 26x6 front runners mounted on the 18x5 Forgestar wheels and put them on the car today. They look good. Just waiting for the matching rear 18x12s to come now.

Where did you find these? I ran a 1.41 on stock fronts with michelins but with an MT 345 on the rear. I have been searching for those fronts.
Are you using the 18" 345 MT? Does the taller height mess with the computer in any way when using stock front wheels & tires? Thinking about going with the taller (over 20" OEM height) MT 345/18" drag radials. Thanks.

I have not had any issues... I was told that they are the best all around tire for the strip and street. They were trying to get me on some new ones at the M/t truck at SNSC.

It depends on the setup.
Those tires could be overkill for some setups especially with stock power and stock converter.
If the stock runflat can cut a low 1.5x on a stock c7Z06 then a 345 MT seems too much for that setup.
Plus we know a 245 drag radial is capable of at least a low 1.5x with a manual c7 and which is much less forgiving than the auto on the launch.
Then there's the advantage of less weight and rolling resistance with a lighter rim and smaller tire... and often a gearing advantage with a smaller tire.
In addition smaller is often cheaper.
I also worry about the strain the large drag radial puts on parts especially over time.
So the Mickey Thompson SR is what everyone is using for front runners? What if I wanna do roll racing 60-160..? Are there any other options for an 18x5 rim that has a higher speed rating than the 130 of the MT's? Since roll racing will see the tires being used for more than short bursts, and used as basically a street tire, are there any other options out there?
