Drag Radials

Anyone have these?

Any recommendations?

I'm looking for a set that will fit the stock rims. Stock tires are 205/55/16 on 16" x 6.5" rims.

All I can find are 205/55/16 or 225/55/16.

I have Kumho 225s on my 18" x 7.5" rims. Would 225s be too wide for a 6.5" wheel?

Any suggestions? Thanks!

i've run on the new BFG's a few times and loved them. I wasn't a big fan of the nittos at all.

225's would just slow you down, you won't really need them they are a little too wide. The 205's will be perfect. The 225's will fit though if you want to go that route (i'd double check that one, but i'm 99% sure they'll fit)

I ended up buying these: http://www.ec-securehost.com/OnlineT...o_NT-555R.html 205/45/16 for $100 a piece.

I couldn't pass up the low price!

I thought about that, but with a 100-shot, I'm afraid of snapping the axles.
