Drag radial help

Went to the track with my stock tires and the m6 and it was like it was on ice! Anyone know of a good drag radial set up that will fit on the 2016 Camaro 2ss? Just curious what everyone is running. I have no idea where to start on trying to pick a size wheel or tire any help would be appreciated thanks!

Nittos aren't a good tire for a manual. You need something with a softer side wall like a hoosier

I had an extra set of wheels so is went this route. I have M/T 305/35/20 mounted on a widened factory wheel ( I like the stealth look ) and I switch them out for daily driving. If you keep your 9.5 wheel then I think your only MT option is a 275 tire. As was previously mentioned, with your M6 you want the tallest sidewall you can find.

I think it will really help the M6 more then the A8 although sometime this year I'll probably get a set and they will be M/T's.
