I run the M/T 315/35/17 ET Street Drag Radials and first gear's is VERY usefull (325 to 1 rear gear, with TKO 600). When I drop the rear tire pressure to about 12psi and do a healthy burnt out I can hang the front tires around 6" in the air out of the hole.
Surprisingly, the shorter sidewalls work very good in the twisties too
Now rain .... that's a different (scary) story.
