Message Long story kind of short - I really like the look of 18" wheels on my car and hate the look of the stock wheels on the rear with the Mickey Thompson 255/50 R-16s for track days. (Yes, I know, it is the best performer for the strip with the highest sidewall.) However, I really wanted to keep the consistent look of the 18's all around, so I bought and extra set of 18" rear wheels for drag days.

After doing much research, I have got it down to 2 different tires:

1.) Mickey Thompson 265/40 R-18 drag radials

2.) Nitto NT555R 285/35 R-18 drag radials

PS - These are going on an 18X10 wheel

Let me know your thoughts and thanks in advance!
