Dr's with Whipple

[desant89]

I have been reading about DR's, and am not seeing a ton of information in regards to them on the 20" factory rims. Who is using what? Ordered Whipple, and from stock, I can tell that the P-Zeros will not work at all. I will be driving my car pretty often. Not my only vehicle (one of 4), but I love driving it and will do so often. What is the best all around 20" Dr that I would sacrifice the least comfort and road noise, and get the best traction. Of course I know there are sacrifices, but trying to get the best possible option here. Also let me know what size people are using on the 20 if possible. Thanks in advance!

I was torn on 19 or 20s I went with the 19. 305-35-19 only rear tires the fronts are fine the stock tires are just dangerous with this much power. I did a couple pulls for data logs and broke loose 3rd to 4th shift.. no good

Are you drag racing or just a daily driver?

Wow not seeing a big traction issue at all, very manageable really. I was expecting to be blazing the tires at will in third. I have 275/35 nt555 and its 35 F out today and I couldn't breakem loose unless I really tried. I could blaze them in second from a roll but not third and that's with 3.73 gears. 3.75 pulley.:shrug:

I may go to the track a couple of times. I know they wear faster, but I'm looking for the best all around. Doesn't need to be great in rain, but I don't want a noisy tire that rides stiff. Traction will be important. If I have the power, it's useless if I can't put it down when needed.

An MT ET Street, S/S, or R will be the 3 best for traction, followed by NT05R/555. DR's = tradeoff, you either get traction from a launch or WOT vs no traction in wet/damp/moist/cold. That's not to say that you can't drive on MT's in the rain, have done it several times, but it's not ideal. I believe you will be less dangerous with MT's because you'll handle the power and not break loose and lose control when going fast, just don't do anything stupid in non ideal conditions.
