dOod. i'd say BFG DRAG radials or nitto 555's.

a friend has the bfg's on 17" wheels for his FD-3. it hooks up like a player at a stagette.

You can't drive to the track on slicks though...

I'm surprised traction with an auto n/t is even an issue.

so was i dood ... i was most shocked ... so if anything an auto needs to get its 60' times down ... this should help ... the track conditions werent optimal that day ... it was a night event .. the track wasnt used all day ... and it was 40 degrees ... so it might have been that but any little bit helps

I'd go with Nitto 555s. I've had nothing but good experiences with them.

I have 225s on my 14s and it's streching it. Looks kinda stupid cause they bubble out quite a bit.

Edit: When one of the tires exploded, Firestone blamed it on the tire being too wide for the rim. lol
