28x5-18..Looks great. Are those fronts 26 or 27’s?
I personally only care for the 28’s on a 18” wheel. Any thing under and they look like balloons.

28x6-18 you mean. MT should make the 18in front runner in a 27x6-18, that would be perfect for the s550.28x5-18..

I havent ran the radials with the regular front tire yet. ill throw them on and see if i notice any sway, also live in Vegas so should be direct comparison, i know the roads at my parents house in SoCal gives a whole different ride compared to here. Based on a email from MT they recommended 30-32psi on the street and thats what i run. no issues with any sway at all running the full drag pack, but i dont think ive ever recall anyone mentioning sway and radials together.Are you guys running ET Street R's with stock tires up front experiencing any sway? I bought the drag pack F14's w/305 ET Street R's, and had a tire shop mount and balance them. They were about 38 psi, and they swayed a lot. I dropped the pressure down to around 28 psi and they're a little better but definitely don't inspire confidence in anything over about 80 mph. Would skinnies help up front? Lower tire pressure? I have stock front tires on there right now if it makes a difference.
Only with the wide radials up front. No crazy sway with pizza cutters.Are you guys running ET Street R's with stock tires up front experiencing any sway
I put the 20’s on up front today. Last night I used my dragy for the first time, I weaved back and forth with the full drag pack to see how that felt. Just... unresponsive is the best way I could put it. No sway really. With the 20’s up front I got up to 110mph and still felt ok. Any acceleration though and big movements at the wheel gave a very weird feeling. I’ve never heard anything about sway from a radial. Your post was the first time, I felt it today. It was unique feeling. Idk if I could run like this permanently lol. Maybe you get use to it. Also it was in “track mode” as that my “My Mode” setting, track and the exhaust in sport. I didn’t think to see if there was any difference in normal or sport or drag. Biggest thing I hate about running the drag radials is just a quick trip around the block and I have a coating of grey/black dust on the rear quarters.Are you guys running ET Street R's with stock tires up front experiencing any sway?

Any 3/4 pics from the front?My car with 27x6.0x17 fronts
Thank you! Maybe I just need to get the front runners for mine. I have the rears at 21psi warm and they still sway but I’ve gotten used to it a little more. Still not my favorite feeling though.I put the 20’s on up front today. Last night I used my dragy for the first time, I weaved back and forth with the full drag pack to see how that felt.

I’m running my radials at 32psi. Last night with the dragy I had them aired to 17psi and still couldn’t get anything better then a 2.04 60ft with it. It would either bog at 5500 or spin like crazy at 5500. I think I’m going to drop to 5K on the 2Step and slip some. I don’t see how people are getting 1.5 60ft out of the magride suspension cars
Here’s one. Not the best lighting thoAny 3/4 pics from the front?
