can you share your knowledge on DRAG tire choice?
Hey~
I got a Drag meeting in 2 weeks in a track, I want to go FASTER~
All the drag mania out there~
Plz give me an idea what wheels and tire set-up is the Best !
My car is CLS 63 with HRE M40, front 255-35-19 P-zero, rear 295-30-19 PS2.
Should I go 18's in the rear or 19's?
and should I go with narrower tire like 265-35-18?
Or whould I go with wider tire?
(I think E 63's tire setting is good enough though.)
and What is best drag tire?
thanks~

well i make it easy for you. you will have to get a 18" drag radial. because nobody makes a 19" drag radial yet. i would go as wide as you can. you should probably do a 305/30/18. bfg and nitto both make good drag radials. i have the nitto's on my 650hp z and they hook up good.

best set for your caris 18" BFG or Nitto 555r or even better is a 17" stock c class rim (widen the bolt holes) 1mm with 9mm drill bit. Mount Mickey Thompson ET streets 26.5x11.5(this is the very best ) imo

+1 on the MT's...I went with CCW 16" classic wheels on MT ET Streets...I got this combo from RFLOW and you can check his 1/4 times on dragtimes.com to see how well they work...
