Hoosier DR2 if you want the best traction and they are light.

MT ET Street R in 305/45/17. Clears the car, looks sexy, grips hard. Has some wrinkle for a streetable 17 inch tire.

The two suggestions in here 275/40/17 and 315/35/17 both size up to about 25.6 diameter. Are you guys going with a shorter tire on purpose? Would that have a positive effect on times?

I chose the 305/45/17s because they are the closest height to stock https://www.ebay.com/i/253029763868?chn=ps&dispctrl=1

Mickey's don't hook like the Hoosiers and are quite a bit heavier.... They are still good though.

The mickey 305/45/17 is a great tire. But I went faster on the shorter Hoosier dr2 315/35/17. It is the fastest tire for a stock converter NA car

I don't doubt it...the Hoosier is probably 10lbs per tire less weight. Then the gearing advantage on top.

Has anyone tested the 315/35R17 R yet? I know the Hoosiers are nasty!

I ended up getting a good deal from the people I got the rims from. I went with the 315/35r17 Mickey R's and 26x6.00Lt17 S/R Mickey T

Any of you guys lowered? I wonder how the 315 will fit. It is a shorter tire, but I wonder if it would rub in that famous spot
