Default Which 20 inch drag radial are you running?

It has come to the point where I can no longer run street tires. The Nitto Invos will just not hold above 3k RPM. What DR are you running on the street. I need something that will fit properly on a 20 x 12 rear as I dont want to run my 18/18 drag pack all the time. Thanks

I have a drag pack with MT R for the track but dont want to run small wheels on street. Have a set of carbon fiber Savinis I want to use. They are 20/20

20's won't hold crap, I have the 19 M/T's and they can't take a hit. Just went to 18's and hoping it works. I don't make anywhere near the Jam you do.

I haven't seen anyone else post this so i must be dreaming when I feel more grip from the rear tires since I added the DCS shock controller which seem to allow some squat on the rear and some front lift for more weight bias on the rear thus more traction.
I must be dreaming this up.

Very well could be. Thanks for the feedback. I am running the Stage III rear spoiler so am getting a huge amount of down force at 70-140mph but it is nowhere near enough. With this mantic triple the car hits hard at 3500 and just keeps going to 6500. I hate running small wheels on the street.........cuts down on my BLING factor. LOL Guess that is what you get when you want to make big HP and drive the car on the street.

Looking to see what people are running on the street in these cases. I have seen some running 18s with the Toyos on them. Feedback from anyone?

I don't know of a 20" tire that will do what you are wanting it to do. I've changed from 20's to 19's on the rear and use 325-30-19 MT DR's. I'm sure that going to an 18" or 17" would help a little as well.

I have the need for better traction also. Will the 19" z06 wheels that are ran on the z06 work for the rear with Mickeys 325-30-19?

The repro Z06 12X19's will handle the MT's just fine. That's the combo I use. I used to use Nitto NT05R's but switched to MT recently.

Yes, except I have a 325 not the 315 like the link shows. Only have a few hundred miles on them, but love them so far. I’m on basically stock power (just a CAI) though. First gear you can almost give it 100%, but not quite and second gear hooked up at all times at WOT (in about 80 degree weather).

Rear only, stock fronts and no issues with traction control or anything else.

HCI C6 Z06 here. My MT ET SS 325/30-19s hook up well, but start to get scary at 140-160 MPH. I was going to run tham at Mojave but after a couple of 1/2 mile events, no way I want to go faster than 170 on them.

I have the same experience, put a DSC on the Z07 with continentals and it hooks better than it did with cup'2 and stock computer, I can go full send from 20mph and its amazing
