Default Best Wheel/ Tire Combo For Drag Racing
I want to know what your opinions are on the best tires for drag racing that I can put on my stock Y2K wheels. I want to be able to put the wheels/ tires on the car in my driveway and drive it up to the track with no problems.
Thanks for the Help,
Joe

BF Goodrich Drag Radials. If you increase your hp much, you'll probably need to go to 17" ET Drag Radials.
