Best Drag Radial Set Up for Base Model C7?
Hey new Member here! Just wondering whats a good set up for a base model 2017 Stingray. Stock rear tires were 285/35/19 currently just got Nitto NT05 305/35/19. I'm looking for a seperate wheel and tire set up (drag.) Any recommendations?

Hi there,
For my '15 Base A8 I have been running the TSW Interlagos 18" all around 9"frt & 10.5" rr. For Drag radial I went with the Nitto NT555R 285/40-18 and they last about two full drag seasons(40-50 passes per) with mild street driving. Run them at 18 psi HOT and they hook great on a good drag surface all night long.
I use Launch Control every time and get pretty consistent launches, 60 ft for me are at high altitude (DA 8000+ft), so not great @ 1.84-1.89's. Car has just bolt-ons and tuned, ARH Long Tubes catless Xpipe, Ported Intake and Throttle Body(Thanks EDGYVETTE), Tuned by Higgs Boson and usually run 100 octane Sunoco.
