Does anyone know of a DR that is 245/45/17, 245/40/17, 255/45/17 or 255/40/17? Or better yet, the racing slick equivalent of those sizes (I’m not familiar with them). I know the Nitto NT555 comes in a 245 but I’ve heard they’re far from the best DR’s out there. BFG and M/T have nothing and I couldn’t find anything on Hoosier’s website (that shit was made in like 1994, so hard to navigate :banghead lol). much gracias ---

Your problem is that you’re looking for a skinny tire on a 17" wheel. Go with a smaller wheel. I’m not going to search for you… What tire width and height in inches? ---

Wtf do you need drag radials for? If it’s for ‘your’ e36 make sure you reinforce the front diff bolt with the radowski kit or AA DSB and/or solid diff bushings. ---

you want the smallest tire you can get, that hooks the most… 245’s in a D/R would hook plenty…and pretty much all drag radials hook good…just some wear out faster then others. ---

Used sticky tire FTL. They lose their stickyness after a season or so, and after alot of heat cycles. ---
