18" drag radial
- Thread starter thodge
- Start date
31-32" I'm thinking but could be wrong
Atleast thats what I plan on running this year with 3.73's and 8-900 h.p..
What tires are you looking to go with?31-32" I'm thinking but could be wrong
in a drag radial or slick the only tire i know is the M&H Racemaster Slick 12.00/16 its 31.5 inches tall... M&H makes a drag radial in a 17" wheel IIRC its 30" tall
mickey thompson makes a 29" radial
m&h has a 29.5" radial for 17s, couple inches wider than the MT
both are close to $300 a tire
IMHO it is much better to just go with a slick which is cheaper in the long run... unless you are needing a DOT approved tire
I agree 100%, but i allready have an extra pair of 18" wheels sitting in my garage.
then i'd go with the Mickey Thompson radial because its much wide than the M&H equivalent it is however much more expensive. I have a code for M&H that gets you 15% off
They are out there. I am looking at these:http://www.mickeythompsontires.com/strip.php?item=ETStreetRadialII
Last ones on the page. 305/45/18's come out to 28.8" tall. There is also these im looking at: http://nittotire.com/index.html#index.tire.nt555r2 as they list a 305/45/18 as well and these list a load rating of 2337 wich is the highest ive found yet.

Right now I just have a set of 31" nitto A/T's on extra wheels I plan on running. If The money is there I would like to go with a Dot style drag radial in a 18" size aswell but like previously stated Its tuff to find anything over 30"s with a 18" wheel..
The 305/45r18 MT ET gets my vote , I ran them with good sucsess and Rob has had good luck with them also on Max'd Out , RPM @ 124mph was pretty decent and should be OK up to 132-134 mph Matt bought them from me and is still running them to this day. The taller you can gte the better but there are not alot of good choices.
