Best Hooking Tire (w/Size) On 17" Wheel

I haven't purchased new DR's in a few years. I know tire tech is always evolving. What will hook the best at the strip on a 17x10. Will be for the Saleen in my sig.

TIA

New Bronco tires work the best.

305/45?

depends on your set up

you asked for best hooking.... not a size reco

Fair point



I did say 17x10 on the Saleen in my sig though...

so 305/45 makes sense, what's the rear gear?

3.73

28" w/ 3.73s is what I run

Avg 60'? Suspension setup?




I've been a best of 1.59 but probably avg 1.61-1.65 on the M&H's I ran. Stock PJ rear suspension (Saleen watts link).

previous owner pulled 1.4x 60's I never got a good 60 the one day I took it to the track

FRPP K springs, QA1 adjust rears, no front sway bar

Sounds like a plan. Thanks for the help.

to be clear, never used the tire I linked, from what I've read they are the top DR now.
