do you mean mickey thompson drag radials???

No, no tire will come with a wheel mounted already... not sure where you came up with that idea... Unless you buy wheels off of ebay, maybe... but not at a tire shop.

The M/T drag radials are called "ET Street Radial".

You have to decide what size wheels you want to run, and what size tire fits those wheels. The smaller the wheel diameter, the larger the tire sidewall, and a tall sidewall hooks better than a short sidewall. You have to decide whether you want to stick with 16" wheels like your stockers, or switch to 15" wheels for the track.

Be careful -- a 15" wheel won't leave much room over the stock rear brakes on an '02 Z28.
