[QUOTE="SCGallo2, post: 16629563, member: 160791"] With 650-680 RWHP, NT05R 285/40R18s deflated to 16 psi with 3.31 gears hooked at the strip. On the street, inflated to 30 psi for sidewall strength, traction wasn't that great. Now I am making 700+ RWHP with NT555RII 305/35R19s inflated to 30 psi with 3.31 gears and hooking on the street. I have gone close to WOT in 1st gear without wheelspin but definitely hook 2nd gear and above even in cool weather. I have not been to the strip with this setup, but it should be even better with good track prep. They do bulge a little on a 10" wheel but not bad; 10.5" width would be just right. If you are going to drive on the street with drag radials, you would be pleased with the 555RIIs. The sidewall strength is slightly better than the NT05R, which have scared the crap out of me during freeway speed abrupt lane changes... just something else to consider.
