Getting ready to purchase the rear tires for my truck and want some opinions on tire size and type/brand. Truck is a 00' RCSB. LQ9/TH400 w/brake/180hp nitrous. Vic Jr-carb-235/242 cam-1-7/8 headers-4000 stall. My 9" rear is almost in with coilovers and ladders. Rear is 31 spl/3.90/locker. I am running 5 lug 15's on all corners. Last truck weight without driver was 3656lbs. This was before the 9" install. Should stand to lose some more weight with the front skinnies, Weld wheels, and the loss of the leaf springs. I was looking at running the MT 3757R ET Street radial but they no longer make this tire. This is the 325/50/15.

With my setup, what tire should I get? The ET Street R? ET Street S/S? Should I stick with a 28" tire?

What are your guys thoughts?

 

Check out the nitto nt05r. I dont know much about them but ive heard good things. Guess i should say go with the MTs cause we make them at work lol ide go with a 30" or 31" imo

 

the nitto isnt going to be a good tire for his truck

sounds like you are gonna want to run a slick

 

He needs a real tire, not nitto

If a 28" tall tire works for you, I would run the 325/50/15 ET street R. Very similar to the 275 pro but in 325.

 

Nt05r and the MT et street radial are extremely similar. Worth a look anyways.

 

no they are not


show me one 4s 1/8mile car running a shitto

 

hahaha...haven't laughed so hard all day.

 

Not saying theyre better. Just saying if he cant get the MT in what he wants its a similar drag radial that may save him some $ if theyd work for him.

 

The nitto might as well be a PVC drift tire for an RC Car. The nitto will cost him a lot more because he would have to take them off the very first time he tried to use them.

 

In my opion the best tire for your truck would be a 325/45/15
