Right now I'm running a cooper cobra tire 255/60/15. I'f you know htis tire you know it doesn't hook worth a dam. Any suggestions I'm looking for straight line traction on a budget!! 125.00 a tire would be tops. I know you get what you pay for but does anyone know of a better tire then I have in my price range, and the best place to get the best deal? I'm on the street more then the track
thanks!

I have nittos but I havnt tried anything else yet. I plan to use some M/T's for the track though, but I will try out the nittos and compare my 60 foot times.
