Default Drag Radials?
What drag radials should I get for my truck? Keep in mind that I have a 2000 Silverado so I have the rear disc brakes so the wheel size has to be 16" or bigger, I also have 4.10 gears. I have been think about getting a set of the 18" stock Silverado wheels and have them widened to 10.5" w/ 6.5" of bacspacing and use the Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial's (305/45/R18).

either the m/t or nitto 555r. both are 305/45-18...or an et street 28X11.5 will work on the stock 16" wheels.

Nitto makes a 275/40 20 and a 305/35 20. Theyre not cheap though.
