Is this Mickey Thompson tire size ok

[bayareaturbo]

I found a New pair of Mickey Thompson Street Radial 205/50R 15 for $140. I wanted to get a set to take to the track for better grip. Would this tire size be ok for the track? Or should I just get the 275 50 15? Would it make a big difference?

275/50 - 15

The 205's are way too small. You want them from 235 up to 275/60 15. It all depends on what rims you have

Yeah a 205/50/15 is for like a GLHS

I have the trans am wheels. I just didn't want the 275 to rub

 

[Dabigguy]

Are they the 16" wheels or 15"?

Are they the 16" wheels or 15"?

There 15" I have 235 60 15 on there now

I've got the 275/60 15 on GN wheels and I had to use 1/4" spacers, but boy do they grip!!! I do not know the back spacing of those wheels, but 255/60 may be better.
