drag radials maybe? wtf are u kidding me

BoostedCosta · 04-28-2010, 03:09 PM

i dont think they even make drag radials for 19 inch rims

DSFTW · 04-28-2010, 03:11 PM

Let me put this way,my car tires spin really bad even on second gear,i am just looking for good ones so i can take off little faster.

BoostedCosta · 04-28-2010, 03:13 PM

well the best thing u can get is prob the direzza z1

alpha325i · 04-28-2010, 03:14 PM

I cannot think of a single drag radial in a 275/35/19 size. Are you wanting to drag race your 335i? If you want the best traction for the track, buy you a set of 17" Weld Racing wheels wrapped with Mickey Thompson or Hoosiers...and then grow a mullet.

What about Yokohama S drive ?

Then the Nitto NT05 should help you out some. They make them in 275/35/19 and 275/30/19.

Thanks

Or if you are trying to get the best possible time at the drag strip, and want to be able to drive to the track on the same tire....Try the NT05R..

Just be prepared for much faster tire wear though.

By the way, I hope you know that a wider tire does not give you more traction. If you went 265's, there would be nothing wrong with that.

All a wider tire does is distribute your ground pressure over a greater surface area, and as a result, reduce tire wear.

Probably a 265 width in 18 inch size. 19 inch wheels/tires put more mass farther out on the overall radius, reducing your time.
