I want the best grabbing DOT tires that will fit a Fox body Mustang hopefully WITH the quad shocks in place.

I have Nitto drag radials 245/50-16 and they are like being on ice in first and second gear at the race track.

It used to be, the last time I did this, M&H tires were the very best. I could pull the front wheels with M&H DOT's that were 26 tall and 10 section width and 15 rim with stock suspension.

What is the grabbinest street legal tire that will fit??? I have 16 inch wheels, but could buy something else.

i would say the mickey thompson e/t streets radials but they would be slick until you heated them up.

the next choice would be the b/f goodrich g-force t/a. they are very grabby and no need to heat them up. im thinking about going with these because a friend of mine had them and loved them. they arent too bulky either.

Thanks for the suggestions!! Do any of those tires grab good enough to lift the front wheels off the ground??

M&H has some drag radials now, why not try them out?

I've been dying to ask, what is a white Mustang registry?

As for the tires, I learned how the EEC works by wasting hundreds of dollars. I learned what I didn't need for blower additions by wasting hundreds of dollars. I was trying not to learn what the best tires are by spending more of my wife's allowance.

Seriously, don't you think a wrinkle wall would hook a whole lot better than a radial?? The Nitto drag radials I "tried out" are like driving on black ice in first and second. They handle great, but they sure don't hook like a real drag tire should.

I found this:

DOT sticky tire shootout - FordMuscle.com Forums

This is the only real comparison I could find and it says M/T won.

It's just the registry for white mustangs, most colors have such registries.

i have 2 questions ......

1.have you upgraded the drivetrain (rear & axles).....

2. why not just go with a 10.5 slick

my falken ziex 512 hook good for the power that i lack lol but they are grippy doubt a high power car would hook with them though

The parts are on the way with the gear. New Cobra differential and 31 spline four lug axles.

I like a stock looking car with air and power windows that I can drive to the track but go fast. I also want to run street tire class.

I've heard good things about the M&H radials! And the BFG's are what the big guys are running. Im not saying BFG is the only tire, but they are running low 8's- high 7's. So i'd say they hook pretty well.
