    Drag Radial Options

    Needing some new rear tires for the Ranger. I'm currently running MT 325/50 ET Streets on a 15x10 wheel. They didn't balance for crap and were not a joy to run on the road....but hooked great on the light truck.

    I know that 275/60 is generally the most common DR with a much broader selection of tires available and I have used them before in a regular radial. But the LOOK of the 325 is just SSOOO much nicer on the Ranger.

    So...I'm looking for experience that anyone may have for a good DR that rides well on the street and hooks. It does not necessarily need to be a metric size. I think the 325/50 equals a 28x12.50. I can go taller... and a little wider...if needed. Will just cut the height with more gear!

    Thanks.
