What would you buy (wheel and tire)?

So after my first outing with my MY17 PP GT with VMP blower at the drag strip, I really want to get the stock drivetrain buttoned up. Well because you see used wheel and tires all the time for sale (compared to the rest of the drivetrain I need to upgrade), I would like to keep an eye out and pull the trigger whenever they may pop up.

I read having a bias ply slick out back is a death trap with a street tire up front. So I assume skinnies up front with some sort of drag tire fixes that?

Anyhow, considering I am around 650 and may increase slightly, what size tire and wheel could get the power down safely? And is some sort of beadlock even necessary?

My best time with literally just rolling off the line at 1500 rpms with 11.87 @127.

I ran Hoosiers. 4x17 up front. 28x10.5 in the back. There is usually something like what I mentioned in the for sale section for a good price. I recently sold all four for $750.

LOL notice, I said I ran. The hoosiers are the weapon of choice for the PP guys. I didn't like them on my automatic and sold them. I was just using them as an example of what a fair price for a used set should go for on the forum if you look hard enough.

Im happy with my set-up, race stars with mnh skinnies 28×4.5×18 up front and 28×10.5×17 hoosier's in the rear. The mnh are dot. I think I might try the new mickey Thomson et street bias dot slick eventually.
