In my quest to get the most out of my setup (as we all want) I am going to be getting drag tires for this track season.
I have found I the Nitto NT555'* in 245/50/16'* as well as the more extreme Nitto NT01'*.
Will the 245/60/16 NT01 be worth $192.13 per tire vs the 245/50/16 NT555 at $157.43 per tire?

These are the only drag tires I am finding that are close to the desirable size. Any one have leads to others in a fairly reasonable price range?

What kind of 60' times should I be seeing -have gotten a 2.166 on Bridgstone Potenza RE-910'* and 2.200 on Mastercraft P794'* (around here they're known as the poor mans tire at $75 per tire locally).

Also, do the Mickey Thompson E.T.'* require tubes and if so where would I go for those?

The NT-01s are made more for circuit racing than passes down the quarter mile. I'd say stick with the NT555Rs. BTW, they're only $150 at discounttiresdirect.com and come with free shipping.

Stick with the tire most of us use.
26 x 9.5 x 16 Hoozier Quick Time Pro.
I'll be ordering mine in a couple of months.

And where, might I add, do I go about ordering these?

The best deal is from McCormack Racing. The website is as follows:

On this subject, since we're front wheel drive vehicles, do we need driag tires on all 4, or just the front?

just the front

Only do the rears once you plan on them spinning .

Yeah, I thought so. Just wanted to confirm.
