Not much of a tire guy as I never needed anything crazy yet...What would you recommend for rear street tires?

I've only tried MT ET Street Radial II's 305-35-18 and they hook up street or strip. But they're an inch shorter than stock and look a little odd with stock suspension. The front is down a bit with the TVS and that exaggerates it even more.

In this pic there's a full tank of gas and about 80lbs of stuff in the trunk so it doesnt look too bad, but when the tank is near empty and there's nothing in the trunk it looks a little jacked up.

I've got about 3K miles on them and 5 burnouts and 5 passes at the track and they look about halfway done. I have them at 28psi and they do muffin top some. I didnt air them down at the track.

I am running 18x10rear and 18x8.5 front. Lowered about 2" rear and 1.7" front. MT DR 305/45/18 and 235/50/18.

Swap that H for the X, and he's set.

I didn't really see a reason behind this. Was it just for sound type thing?

Mike asked me this question...once again...not a wheel tire guy yet so please help out.

"Hey what are the sizes on our stock tires, are they 235/50 or 245’s?? I think that one guy on the forum is running 235/50’s on the front with and 8.5” rim and the 305’s on the back with the 10” rim. Can you run our stock tires on a 9” rim?? If I can then what I will do is get just the rims and 2 Drag ET Street Radials and I’ll have 2 spare tires for the front when they go bad. What do you think?"

You could run stock tires on a 9" rim.

What's the biggest size tire you can run on the stock 8.5" rim?
