I cut a 1.660 60 foot with Nitto 555R's. 285/35/18
They are wider and shorter in diameter then the MT's so I think it might work beter 60 foot. Good luck.

It seems like the MTs are stickier though also a bit taller. The 285 on the Nittos is deceiving because all their tires run "large" meaning they are small compared next to any other 285. I believe the MT 265s are just as wide actually.
I'm surprised at some of the 60' times on Nittos from guys in this thread, wow.

I'm looking at getting a set of drag radials also. I liked the nt555r's but nitto told me they wouldn't fit on my stock 18's. They said I needed a 9.5 inch rim. Did any of you have problems putting the 285's on the stock wheels? Thanks for the help.
You actually have a few choices for 18" Drag Radials.
[*]18" Hoosier D.O.T. Drag Radials (255/35-18 or 275/35-18) <- not something you can safely use on the street[/LIST]Hoosier D.O.T. Drag Radials
hoosier doesnt make either tire in a 18" only 315 and above in an 18 drag radial. when using 17" or smaller rims watch for caliper clearance

They fit on the stock wheels fine. I daily drove/tracked with that setup before I went to my Forgestars.
Do you guys have any experience with M&H Racemaster Camber Radial Tyres? I have found a place here in Australia that sells them in 245/40/18 which is what I'm looking for as I cannot find MT ET Street or Nitto 555R in similar size.
I'm looking head to the strip in the coming summer but I feel that the Conti Contact 5P won't cut it.
