high speed rated tires for a prostreet

[ProdigyCustoms]

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

Like Frank said, winding up a 20x15 to 220 will take some serious steam and your traction advantage will go out the window when your poor motor is trying to turn all that weight and mass at high MPH. Even the Veyron takes a super slippery car with traction control, AWD and 1000 hp to barely make 200 in a standing mile. A 12" wheel will work far better for top speed runs and will probably only require a wider rearend.

You might want to contact the S.C.T.A. (Southern California Timing Association)

They are the people who run "Speed Week" at the Bonneville Salt Flats. They will certainly know who makes high speed tires and wheels.

Click on all the links that are associated with them, they are cool and very informative.

I wouldn't skimp on your research for this if 220 mph is in fact you goal.

Good Luck.

Keep us posted.
