high speed rated tires for a prostreet
 

Picking up my new 69 Camaro at the end of this month, id to get a set of custom wheels made in either 18/19, or 19/20 could even go with a set of 18/18 if its my only option. The issue is i need a tire that can go on a 15 or 16" wide rear wheel that wont look terrible and is speed rated for over 200mph. Ive noticed most "street" tires only go to 345, the Veyron has a set of 365's but i need something even wider then that. Tire choices will really be the deciding factor on what size wheels i go with. Trying to run 210-220mph in the car.

There is your width, I have them on my 20x15s. But only rated at 130.

exactly, ive seen those on MT's website but i need something that is safe at 200+

Also are there any Aero mods to create some down force up front?

There is no tire the size you are looking for that has the Z speed rating.

a drag slick.. why does it need to be z or y rated

You're only going to find a drag specific tire in that width, no road car uses a tire that wide.

Because im going to try to go well over 200mph in the car. Im concerned with the heat those runs build up on a drag tire. Would you wanna run for an entire mile at full throttle on a drag radial or slick?

A lot of Texas Mile cars use R6's of some other DOT-R tire like that, but again, you're only going to find them in normal road car sizes.

Put more narrow tires on it for the mile. 345/35/18 is the only drag radial I know of that can do that. Viper Guys use them all the time.

Those wide tires will be anchors in the mile anyway.

Thats what im thinking. Run a really wide "street" tire and then have a set of dedicated tires for the mile :thumbsup:
