I can get a set 2 of sn95 chrome cobra r's with nitto drag radials that have 30% treadwear left on them to run as my drag wheel/tire (would run with the two chrome cobras on back and stockers on front) for $350...or I can just run with my four stock wheels all the time with kumho supra streets for free...??

IMO stay with the stockers I'm not a fan of mix and match wheels, and just buy a pair of DR's for the rear.

just get cheap 15" steel wheels, and buy a set of new drag radials and you should come in at that price range, or better yet, get some slicks, and then.......a new rear......tranny.....clutch.....ect. lol

that was my plan I was just wondering if the price was good for how low the tread is on the tires...since it is the tires that I am after...there are a couple of people on here with stock wheels I might be able to put drags on...are there any drag radials that will fit on the stock 16 X 7.5 wheel? if so which?

I would save your money and buy new DRs for the stockers. 30% treadwear wont last longer than a few good launches. (Just my two % of a dollar.)

if you did the 15" rim idea, you can go as wide as 345/55/15 and that would be $173 each from tirerack. so for probably a little over $400 you can have an entirely new setupwith 15". 16" i think the widest you can go is 255/50/16, but they are $137 each, and if you ever planned out a run w/someone, you can put those on the stock wheels, and when it comes time for the race, just switch them, and no one would be able to tell from 10ft. get some 15x10" steel wheels, and have at it.
