Default 1993 Cobra traction problems what drag radials nitto or mickeys

I just got my car back from dyno shop. It put out 455 horse to the wheels and 456 lbs of torque after dyno tune

Car has cooper 245 45 17 performance tires on it now.

Traction is 0. I post a weeks back asking about the best drag radials. You guys left me some responses but I didnt write them down and I cant find the thread

I was looking at Micky thompson et streets or the nitto.

What have you guys used and think is better from personal experience.


Thanks

I have MT 3756 R street radials on mine. They are p255/60/r15 and they do the job for supercharged 93 LX. You probably have larger rim's but I recommend the MT street radials. McCormack performance sells them. I had trouble finding this size but went through their owner John and had them in a few day's.

I have the Mickey street radials (275/50/15)on my 89 and it has hooked so hard it jumped out of gear when I dropped the hammer at the track.

I've used Nitto and M/T's. I won't go back to Nittos. The Mickeys wear quick so I have an extra set of rims so I can swap them before I drive to the track.
