Floating Feeling on Drag Radials

[Leshik]

Hey guys i just got a set of wheels 19x10 fronts and 19x11 back. ive put 285/35 in the front and 325/30 in the back. The back looks great and has bunch of grip but when i drive the car feels like its floating. Im thinking that i may have over board with the rear size maybe should of got 305/35 in the back. Also the rear tires a drag radials is that normal or what should i do?

What tires are they? I haven't done a lot of research but I thought for drags you either had to move down to 17" or up to 20".

What tires are they? I was asking because I want to look into them. I want a set for mine. =)

could be a psi thing or depending on the tire width not matching up with you rim.. which tire?

It's normal with dr's. The first time I went on the highway with them it felt like the back end was all over the place. It's due to having a much softer sidewall than you are used to.

I've had no issues running my 305/35/19 NT05R drag radials (35psi) on the street. No floating feeling on the highway and they even were pretty damn good in the rain considering. I'm assuming you have M/T drags, which may have a softer sidewall.

When i ran the Nitto NT05Rs there was a little float when i first put them on..but with a couple hundred miles on them I never had it again. I switched to MT's and yeah...its bad...price to pay for traction. 305/35/19s here.

Hi Jeff, did you go with beefier half shafts as well on this set up?

You did a really great video on these by the way!
