Best Street-race tire behind my PC P1X
Hey, hopefully I’m asking this in the correct forum. Being Forced induction-hi hp, I believe But, here it goes,…
After Going “Forced Induction” (PC), I am trying to find the best performance tire for street. 2nd gear 30 mph no traction (in both traction control & performance mode)- 3rd gear 4K RPM fuel pedal “slammed” (excessive wheel spin/ no traction). The performance I’m looking for: 1- sensational hook during warm weather (cool weather as well but, can’t imagine). 2- tread life will last at least 10k miles. (W/ occasional spirited operation) 3- will handle conservative wet weather conditions. 4- not excessive road noise. This Camaro is driven mainly during warm climate, rarely driven in wet climates and never during the winter months (NJ). I have reviewed a great number of driver reports-and have spoken to a multitude of racers first hand providing me with their experiences. I have to say in comparison to tire reports and chatting with others, tire company reports “the Best- phenomenal” are contradictory to us actually running on the track and street. I don’t track my ride merely enjoy w/ occasional road rolls. I’m running P-1X on a Ls7 bored and sleeved at 6.8 psi- results are 722 Rwhp w/ vehicle weight 3900 lbs. w/ 1/4 fuel no driver (roughly 4100 w/ driver). Hogs head 3.90 ratio. Running 305-30-19 front / 325-30-19 rear. Any ideas or guidance would be appreciated. |

I thought the MT Pro only come in a 15 inch, the OP seem to be looking for a 19 or 20 inch, the MT Drag radial ET Street come in that size and hooks well with high horsepower.

you need a 17" wheel at your point if you're not interested in going for a 15" conversion. The small sidewall with those tires and well as the overall compound does not help you a whole lot.
IF you didn't want to do any of that above, then I would recommend either of these options for you. TOYO R888R, NITTO NT05R NITTO NT555R2. Don't even waste your time on the MT ET STREET SS. |

I ran M/T ET street R on an 18 inch wheel. (305-45-18) and they hooked up VERY well. Wore them out and couldn't find any available so went with Nitto 555's (295-45-18) and they DIDN'T hook up at all (+700 RWHP also) so searched and found 305-45-17 M/T ET street R's. went from 18 to 17 inch wheels. back to good traction!
