Best Drag Race Tires Are
I am about to get a new set for the 14r. What is the best for the track and street? Who has the best price?

I used a Shinko 008 stealth U-soft it took forever to wear out and hooked great, I am now using the Shinko hook up with great results as well.

I'm using the Shinko hook-up on the rear as well, 190/55-17. Using the MT75 drag tire on the front.

Yup. A shink is a good tire for the money, but yet to compare to the Michelin

Where do you get the best deal on Power 1s? Do they allow you to run more air in the tire. I know they are lighter

are you concerned with tread life? if not shinkos are pretty good for both but not so good tread life..Never had any experience with the power 1s but i did like the Dunlop Q2s i had on my 07

The Shinko Stealth tire is not an 008. It is an 003. Lew
