I like Dunlop GT Qualifier's. They give me excellent traction and
don't cost alot. I use 235/70's and can get some 2.1 and mostly 2.2
60 ft times. I bought some 275/60 Cooper Viper R/T's thinking they
would get great traction since they were so wide. They suck!! I
also have tried 235/70 BF Goodrich TA radials they are great in the
rain but not at the track. As soon as I burn them up I will stick
with the Dunlop's. Can't argue with results.
