Default Drag radials

I have a set of 17inch stock escalade rims that I planned on using as a drag setup. I'm looking for suggestions on which ones to get. Also how wide can you go on these rims? How tall should I go? Heres two that I'm looking at...

Ya its a 7.5 so I'll most likely go with the M&H dr. Does anyone have any experience with that brand?

GO with mts all the way. I did a 1.62 on a 50 shot on my wifes tbss with 295 45 17.

i would go with a short tire 275 40 17 mt drag radial would be best for you so you will be well in the powerband goin thru the traps. if you get a tall tire you will prob be barly into 3rd.

Thanks for the suggestion Tony, I'll probably end up going with those. I'd just have to go with a shorter tire up front too, or have my truck lean back. Btw are you gonna bring the silver one out soon?

Nice. Sounds like you should be deep into the 11's when you do take it to the track. You ever thought about a cam/Lts on your wifes tbss?
