What tire sizes do you guys use? Also, if i use a drag radial how does it respond on highway driving, speeds around 80 - 130 or so? Do i lose a lot of handling woth a drag radial? thanks....

I use 245/45/17 in the front and 315/35/17 BFG DRs in the back. The DRs drive like any other radial on the highway, maybe a bit rougher. Handling is fine.
