Looking for to good tires

Pierce07 · 12-05-2006, 05:48 PM

I am looking for a set of tires for the corvette. All mine do is spin i am looking to get some traction i have been looking into drag radials but i am not sure which ones i want.

Any suggestions and a estimate?

BFGs are what you need prices vary a lot so shop around

Toyo Proxes are a good street tire, but I dont think they would reduce the spin as much as you want.

Proxis are good. My dad put a set on the bimmer to replace the pilot sports. But the proxis ride a lot softer and dont have as good of grip

Pirelli Scorpions are pretty good as well. I heard that they were better than the Proxes.

IDK about pirelli but if he is going for drag BGF drag radials are great and still streetable but they make other good tires for autocross etc. etc. The majority of my friends with tuned cars have BFG of one kind or another

If he absolutely has to have drag radials I would say either BGF or Mickey Tompson.
