255/50/16 Drag Radials

[Scarab]

I am looking for some drag radials for my car .With bfg's car will lay black marks at 55mph. I dont race very much but need something that will hook as I am going to race a mustang one of my co-workers has and i cant go up in smoke .What would be the best brand in this size that would hook?

I have the Mickey Thompson Radial SS tires. They're 255/60. They work great on the street. The car went from doing rolling burnouts at any speed to hooking and pulling like a train.

do yourself a favor and get a set of taller softer sidewall tires.

275/60/15 , I believe 2" taller than a 255/50/15 . The taller sidewall will take the hit way better , but with your combo you will need to practice your street launch and throttle control .

I have that tire in a 255/50/17, the sweet spot on the street seems to be about 17-18lbs. Tried 20lbs first and 2nd gear they would chirp pretty hard at 17-18lbs they grab no chirp.

A couple of sand bags in the trunk would do wonders as well.
