18" Drag Radials

[matt]

Who makes a drag radial for the stock 18" wheels and what size? Any experiences good or bad?

 

[stkjock]

really arent any that are close to stock height....


BFG made 265/40 ( I have a set) but they were discontinued in march. they work pretty well....

from what I've researched 275-35-18 bfg will fit on the rim but they are only 25.6 high... so its a big difference to the stock 27.25

I think I'm gonna get mine widened to 10" for 305/35/18 MTs

BFG makes some BFG R1's that fit the 18'' rim .I have some for the track on an extra set of stock fanblades.
Size is 255/40/18 Pretty decent tire for the track only.

I didn't think of those.... as u really cant use them on the street... I drive w/ mine 24/7

I don't see 255/40/18 as available any longer...245/40 yea...but its also short! and it doesnt look like a DR its an all around track tire

 

[matt]

would the M&H or M/T 275/50/17 fit on the stock 17" ?

 

[stkjock]

stock 17 is 8"... they recommend a 9" from their site.... so I think it would be pushing it to put it on a 8" rim...

 

[matt]

what will fit the stock 17"s ?

 

[stkjock]

I think this is what a lot of guys have used...

they run small.... maybe the M&H will do the same... just never seen them

i run a 275/40/17 on a set of stock 06 gt bullit wheels, they are tucked because they are about an inch to wide for the wheels but they work fine for me

I e-mailed mickey thompson a couple months back about some 18" drag tires for the stock rims 8.5" and they said that next year they will be coming out with some

 

[stkjock]

really did they say what size?

 

[kenneth]

no specific size, all they told me was that next year they would have some for the 18x8.5" rims.
