Best Drag wheel/tire Combo for the CL65 or CL55?

Hey Guys,

I have a CL600 and have the big brake upgrade done, I need the best weight wheel and tire setup for the track (drag race). Any guys out there with any input?

Let me know, I would like the tire to hook up on the street and track. (well as best as it could at least)

Hey relax guy this is nothing new nor is it a secret. Your looking at 265/40/18 Mickey Thompson ET Streets. Also 245's are used as well, both sizes provide great traction. The slightly smaller tire helps with gearing in a sense. 18's allow for a small amount of sidewall flex and still clear the rear brakes. Heat them up and launch at an rpm both your wallet and underwear can handle.

LOL good one. But def the MT ET Streets seem to be doing good on these cars. The tire is already set.
