Street legal dr's
Has anyone tried the Mickey Thompson's? Seems like the r888r's are the best i can find so far for supercharged applocations.

R888rs are not drag radials. Their sidewalls are designed to be STIFF to handle road racing cornering loads. With drag racing you want a softer side wall to allow for some wrinkle.

Thank you for the information. Sounds like I need to educate myself a little more.

The r and ss radial are the same rubber compound so I run the ss just for the few grooves to channel water if I get caught in the rain

Nitto 555R are a very good DR for the street. Last a lot longer and will not try and kill you in the rain. But will do a decent job at the track.

You have to do the harness relocate trick just to be safe. Takes about 10 minutes.

They also make the same tire that but closer to stock size. It would not require the relocation.

How about giving up cornering capability when switching to dr's. I don't take it to the track but i do enjoy the tight handling, does that pretty much go away?
