I used to run 275's drag radials when I had the blower and running
12.60's. They worked fairly well,but did have some tire spin. If you go with
them try and get the tallest sidewall you can. It'll help lesson the shock
on the tires, also don't be afraid to go down on the pressure. My best
traction was had at 15psi. If you really want hook,go with the M/T ET
street. It's their slick in DOT approval. I'll never go back, but it's not
for daily driving,of course. ( I don't believe the drag-rad is either;enough
hydro-planning has convinced me of that!)
