My bad, it was the 285/60/17 toyo proxy ST2's. The tires are at my buddies shop, I just have had second thoughts about them so haven't done anything.
I'm considering them, but there doesn't seem to be much of a solid contact patch on the ground for hooking on the track vs the 275/60/17 420's.
275/60/17 nitto S420's 29.96 tall 10.83 wide
285/60/17 toyo proxes st2's 30.4" tall 11.4 wide
Not much difference. Just not sure which tire I want to buy.

I mainly did the toyo because I need all the tire height I can at 130mph with a 5 speed.
My 22's are over 100lbs per corner, so I need to drop 50 lbs a corner to make a big enough difference

I have a feeling they will be a bust. my 305/45/22's have netted me a best of 1.72 60'. Probably cant get much better than that with the weight my truck is with the turbo setup.
I have 17x11's that I'm looking for tires for.... my buddy has the proxis on his 17x10's so I may try em
My best 60 is a 1.82 with a zf and 275/60/16 falcons on pyos and blown shocks. But I don't have traction issues like you guys yet. Front of my truck snaps up a foot when I launch. My buddy ran the toyo proxes st2s on 17 x9 Black rocks and he loved them. He has a twinned 12 valve regular cab. Hooked good enough to destroy third gear in an nv 4500 a few days ago.
Brian, have you considered different shocks? If the front is lifting too much on the launch you will lose a ton of traction on the front wheels. A set of adjustable shocks, even if they are the Ranchos, should help with traction.
FWIW I've cut a 1.64 on semi bald Mastercraft Courser A/T2 10-ply & 1.68 on brand new Courser AXT 10ply. I feel the suspension has a bigger effect than tires.

The only reason why I want to keep my 22's, despite being 100lbs a corner, is they are wide.. my fear is when I go to a 265 tire that's half the weight, it will not 330' as well. Rigth now the best 60' it has cut is a 1.72 on the 22's.
ive had the best luck with my 22s , ive tryed 265-70s and 245s and either do as good as the 20s or 22s with 420s ive had
I seen your tires on your lmm wheels in your roll bar thread. What size are those? They look decently wide.
you end up with the 285 proxes? Im thinking of running the same on my H2 rims but worried they will look to small on a cc/sb ill be dropping 3in in rear and turning out keys
any pictures of them on your truck?
