The correct size is 335-35-17 correct? I am look for a drag radial that will be used at the track but also can be drivin on the street once in a while.

x2 on the MT's. Those 315's will be a little wider than your typical 315 tire.

I've heard of people running a 335 on a 10.5 rim, but you want to go with a 315. MT's are great tires, I had a pair on Nightmare when I had stock rims and even though they were 275's they were like glue. I'm pretty sure they attributed to my cracked torque box

Good point. He may want to look into reinforcing his torque boxes with those tires. What is the preferred method and/or brand? I am interested in doing my torque boxes as well before they blow out!

I'm not sure what the preferred brand is. I just had the stealership fix mine. I do know that UPR make a kit, but I'm unaware of any other companies, sorry. I am sure that any speed shop would be able to fab some up though.
