| LOL true! FWIW, The tires on the back right now are Yokohama AVS sports.... its a shame they dont make them anymore, because they would be my first choice for DD tires. The car needed drag radials last year, this year its a necessity if I want to win ANY dig races....  | |

| The Nittos will hold up very well! I also hear people like them. However I have always run M/T drag radials

| 6 wheels??? Fuck that noise. Get nitto 555 for the front and get nitto 555r for the rear and be done with it. I ran those all of the time. Rain didn't bother them and they got really good mileage. That's what is on the c5 with the vortech. That works well too. | |

| It'll save you some money anyways. And there doesn't seem to be a downside. | |

| i have nitto 555s in a 275 40r17 on the back of the mustang and it seems to work good on street and tread seems to hold up well. this is coming from someone who didnt even reach 3000 miles last year so take it with a grain of salt. lol. they were priced really well too. | |

| 17" x 9" or 8" or whatever, on Billet Specialties Street Lites. Buy something fucking cool if your going to spend the money. It seems like just about every modified Fbody has Vette wheels. These are also one of the lighter wheels available for the money, if you're serious about racing.... Here is a firebird for reference.  | |
