Message	Settle this...is there NO 18X9-10" drag radial out there realistically? Short of some Hoosiers that'll be a pain, I don't know of anything. With race gas and the timing back up to where it should be I can't keep traction for shit. No launching even...just boost spooling on my damn 30 series tire with no luck. Do I have any options that I can run daily? I really can't have some stockers on the back with radials everyday. The only thing I can think of is a STICKY set of regular tires with a bigger sidewall (totally throwing off the speedo but worth it) and hoping for the best. That is unless someone has other ideas. I hear Nitto is working on an 18...but WHEN is the key. _________________________________________________________________________ My 300Z: www.zheaven.com - Have a question about my ride?
