nitto
I have decided to just get Nitto drag radials. I was wondering should I get them in 17s with my SS rims or should I get them in 16s? Any suggestions and recommendations would be greatly apprecaited. Thanks.

I run NT450 on all corners...I assume you're running NT555 Drags. If I'm not mistaken, a few members here have that setup. Stick with the 17's, performance should be the same, or close to each other. Are you running them on the street or the track? I would go to 16 on the track...17 on the street. But it you're sticking on the street mostly I would use regualr nt555 for better wet traction.

I got 15K miles out of the Nitto drag radials on the WS6 before they wouldn't pass VA inspection. They were good for 1.7x at the track. 6spd and 4.10 gears. They were my everyday tire.
I have 13K miles on the TA and they are 16" drag radials. So far the best is a 1.62. Auto with 3.27 gears.
I would just get 17's and be done with it. Just leave them on and go. They aren't the greatest tire in the snow though
