Drag Radials

So since we don't have AWD tires are a must if we want a good Launch. Can we talk about The Top 3 Drag radials for a M6 with Downpipes and JB4??

Here it is in a nut shell,The best are Toyo R888R 315/30/20 but can have loud road noise,Next up is Michelin sport cup 2s 305/30/20 but they wear fast ,Next up is Michelin MP4
in 305/30/20,this is all on stock wheels. Btw this car really isnt the best car to launch if you start making power drivetrain parts start breaking, its a really good roll race car

The rear axles are the weakest link then the driveshaft then the rear diff housing .keep in mind if you have stock clutches they will slip at 700 +- ftlbs,There is all upgrades available ,so thats why most tuners will keep the car at a safe level when they tune them unless its built and want more power,If you want a 1000hp car all that stuff has to get upgraded, clutch packs,axles,rear diff support, and carbon drive shaft, turbos

You will be fine with that, just keep up with maintenance,I have 34k on my car going to be doing full trans maintenance, filters ,oil and pan, and diff fluid change,Also cheap insurance change your engine oil every 3K to 5K,I do mine every 3K or even less.The turbos really beat up the oil.

You may also want to consider these DR available in 305/30/20

I just installed the NT05 305/30/20. I want to take corners as well.

That’s a nice find! I’m gonna keep these in mind , how is the traction with the NT 05s ?

They provide better traction than the Pirelli P Zeros I just had on for sure. They seem to hold my stage 1 tune well so far.

R888's burn fast. I was looking at the NT555RII as my next tires as well. Do not launch these cars. Really makes your starts worse. From a start roll out then mash it. Stick to the roll racing though. Go buy a domestic to launch and beat the hell out of that way your not breaking expensive parts.
