Tires ?

Looking to see or get advice on what your using for tires. I'm looking at a set of drag radials for a 93 stock camaro. M and H has a size i like , 275/50R/17
they are 28 tall. Also like the Mickey t's but can only get a 275/40R/17. Anyone use M and H ?

if you plan on doing alot of drag racing you'll want a 15" tire, you don't have a lot of side wall on a 17" rim

I do not know if nitto has that size but the nitto 555r is a good street/strip tire that can last more than a few thousand miles easily.

A 28" tire may slow a stock engine car down, unless you compensate for them with a higher numerical rear axle ratio. Even then, the inertia of a 28" tire is going to eat up power you don't have.
