need some traction!!!!

I have goals of 10.99 with my v6..... street tire's are not cutting it on the road right now it gets scary at the top of 1st and 2nd also i can't lanch on these for nothing lol

i want a street legal one so i can drive to the track. i see tires that i can put on my stock wheels and use those, then i see the ones for 15inch rims and use tubes, i know the wrinkle wall is better....... but that gets expensive fast with the tubes....... and rims and everything !! plus i think i seen the 15's take some modding to get them on

i don't want to go all out and have tire that should/could work on a 9 second car. then again i don't want to cheap out and not have what i need for my goals...

any suggestions on a set?

Well you could either get dragradials for your TT2's or just get some slicks for a pair of cheap saladshooters. I would do the latter.

Nice ride btw

That's be fine I guess. Some have said they are better than et streets

Oh and I see your wheels are smoothies not TT2's now

255 50 R16 M/T ET Radials are the ticket if you want to use some 16x8 stockers...I've got a pair and run consistent 1.6s to 60' with 16x8s all around and both sway bars in place. These things hook! They ride nice, and they run $159/each locally...If I switched to front skinnies and removed the front bar I'm confident I'd hit a 1.59...I was a BFG fan for a loooong time, but no more....
