MIchelin pilot sports come in some large / tall sizes. AA traction rating as well -- just don't expect 'em to last long heh

 

the stickiest is going to be the mt drag radial if you can find a size you like. they make a 305/45/18 that is something like 28.7" tall. people rave about these tires.

if you want taller than that you will have to go with a normal tire. i tried toyo proxies and perrilies(can't remember the exact tire) and neither one was all that great.

 

oh, the best 60' i ever got with the perilies and toyos was a 1.65 but 1.70's were more common. i get about the same 60' time with the stock firestones.

the nitto dr's knocked a full .1 off of my 60'. best of 1.55 with 1.6's common.

nearly everyone agrees the mt dr's are way better than the nittos so i am hopeing for some high 1.4's once the nittos are gone. i am not going to try them till i can afford to spend some cash on the rear end.

 

MT drag radials are by far the best. I didn't post up because he said he was looking for a 30"tall -18. They don't last long at all due to having the same compound a slick basically. But they hook!
I have heard multiple stories of guys running slicks or et streets and get a set of MT drag radials and the first pass break axles, rearends and tranny's.

 

I love my Toyo Proxies, but they have a 400 wear rating = not real soft/sticky. They are a great all-around tire, but definately not real sticky.

 

i cannot find that tiresize from m/t anywhere online, have any links?

 

they anounced the new sizes 6months or so ago. i saw an add in hotrod magazine. i called up mt and they told me they would be out in a couple of months so they should be out by now. they said to call summit or any of their many vendors to order a set.

not sure why the web site is dated. you would think they could fix that

 

Hmm Ill check into the MTs. This truck will get about 4K a year on it MAYBE so those shoulb fit the bill. Thanks for the responses.

 

i think you will have the best luck, sticky wise, with the MTs for sure. my no-power ride has serious traction issues with its Toyos.

 

the mt sportsman sr's are bad *** too...check em out at summit...they have them in alot of sizes....
