I have not run BFG drag radials but compared to friends that have i prefer the nittos. 1.64 60 is not bad for a drag radial, and it was a breeze to drive in the rain as well. They also wear a lot slower than the BFGs from what ive read and seen.

3.5" to 4" bs works good for most. Go here to check out some 15" tires http://www.rcspoolers.com/tires.htm

what u guys think 275/50 or 275/60 nitto DR

Depends, how fast you running in the 1/4 mile?

 

[boost86]

would 275/60 fit without any modifications on a lowered T-type

tire size

I agree with Bruce---15s for straight line and 17s for cornering

Assuming you are going with a 8" rim in rear and a 7" in front, you will be fine.
