What are your thoughts on which combo is going to give me the best grip off the line running 355kw?

I've always chosen cheap tyres for the street. I'm now looking to have a dedicated set of tyres for straight line performance at the drag strip. Adjusting driving style seems to be a major factor in not wasting money. 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92908-wider-tyres-vs-quality-tyres/#findComment-1630955 Share on other sites More sharing options...
