If you rarely drive it and don't care about longevity, Hoosiers.
Love the M/T et streets. I'm at 685 wheel and have no traction issues, running a 305-35-18.
nice man, what ones do you have? the R or S/S tire
I have 607 whp 2003 cobra and can get it to hook from a mild roll 1st gear when tires are hot. Toyo R888R 315/30/18 rears 275/35/18 front. Best tire on the street in the dry, if it slightly drizzled... scary. I weekend canyon drive and track car only.
No no damp maybe but actual rain, white knuckles at 45. Imo best tire for the street that’s a track tire.I thought the R888R's were supposed to be decent in the rain as well? That might change my mind on them as I do occasionally get stuck in the rain.
Are those 17 or 18” wheels?
Did I miss the size wheel and size tire you’re currently running?
For reference, the 315/50/17 MT ET Rs I just fit on my Shelby with 17x10s hook 1000rwhp in second from a roll!

Some years ago I rolled a Mach 1 on drag radials, in a moderate rain and travelling around 40-50mph. The car was a fair weather machine, but I occasionally got stuck in the rain because I didnt care too-too much about getting her wet.I thought the R888R's were supposed to be decent in the rain as well?

Prior to that accident, many people had spoken about drag radials being "fine in the rain if you take it easy". I found that to be false. I'm not saying everyone will experience what I did, but I swore off drag-radials after that accident.
Fast forward to now. My cars are never taken out in the rain and see maybe 500 miles a year. I am considering an R compound tire on my next purchase, probably the 888R. I am confident at this point that I would not drive in the rain... otherwise I wouldnt consider them.
Also, with that said I believe that a fair amount of traction is to be gained in correcting and reinforcing the suspension. I believe that the tires are critical of course, but you will still get a lot of spin with an R compound without visiting the suspension/bushings. These cars need corrections before they can be expected to get a solid hook, I think a lot of people who only drive Mustangs havent really realized how badly these things hook up, even on drag radials.
