345/35/18 M&H drag radial. Making just over 550 rwhp and hook HARD on the street. I can't wait to get my 100 shot on this winter to see how well they hook at the track. I LOVE THEM.











came from 335/19 Nitto NT05 drag radials and there is a world of difference

the 345-35-18 on my HRE's weigh less then my 335 Nitto NT05r on stock 19" wheels. But they were not very cheap wheels.....lol

Same tires I have waiting to go on. Just waiting on wheels. Then again I'm making 1000+rwhp. I hope they hook.

You still have this set up?

Looks insane! Love it…..

Was going to try a 28" on mine but was concerned it would rub too much.

Glad to see you get no rubbing…… think i might try this now too….

Hmmm, better than anything else I've tried but not good. Swapped a 3.1 pulley on to turn it down to try to hook better until I get 15s/etc. On a warm day, with tire pressure at 18-20, with a decent burn out it will hold a ~50-60 punch if you roll in to it.
