700whp rim and tire recommendation
I'm pushing 650-700whp, and mainly doing a lot of hpde, and some street/long road trip driving. Very seldomly do I do drag events since local track may be shutting down.
I'm having trouble figuring out a tire recommendation for the stock 1le rim. Right now I'm running a 285/30/20 front and 305/30/20 rears, goodyear supercar 3s and they've been great. Great when they heat up, I'm taking corners/turns anywhere from 50-100mph, but they leave a lot to be desired in terms from a dig/drag racing. Tires spin, traction is always a problem on hard acceleration from a stop, and a 40 roll from second gear might break loose depending if I hit boost or not. So what recommendations I'm looking for is a good all around rim size and tire recommendations that has solid grip for street/hpde/track(not drag). I'm also looking for a second set up to run drags with, recommendation on rim size, tire size. I will be using beadlocks in the rear. |

The most likely recommendation you'll get for these requirements is the Nitto 555RII, a streetable 100 treadwear tire that has acceptable wet performance to accompany its outstanding dry grip and good noise profile. I have not tried it (yet), but several members here swear by it.
Another option that satisfies your grip requirements is the Toyo R888R, but that one I did use and simply couldn't get past the monster truck whine it produces from 35-40 mph upwards. I could hear them even above my engine and it made having conversations in the car with my wife fairly difficult. I'm running Michelin PS4S tires at the moment, but they have no grip from dead start at this power level, 30-40 rolls is where they become usable. A similar counterpart would be the Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02, with similar performance statistics. I'm not sure there is a tire that would be better at everything than your Goodyear SC3s (heated up), so you'll have to compromise on certain aspects.

Yeah, I originally had the ps4s in the back and when I first bought it and extreme contacts in the front. I couldn't grip when I got to 540 whp. So I switched back to the SC3s, and it holds up so far.
Any recommendations on a drag radial and preferred rim size for all out drag racing? |

I'm running 555RII in 345/30R19 on the Apex 19x12 ZL1 wheels in the rear. It's the best daily driver drag radial out there. You do need to get them up to temp and scrub them off (aka burn out) once a while to keep them at peak performance on the street.
