Well, its that time to order some more drag radials for the L.

I have been running Nittos for a while, get around 8-10k miles out of them.. they are very sticky and run pretty good in the rain too.. however, I came across an article in Popular Hot Rodding that listed all of the following drag radials and thought I would ask if anyone here has had experience with them.
Post up and let everyone know.

I didnt look at the ratings on these tires, just posted up the links where I thought there was a reasonable size fit..

A few years back Nitto was the only one making a 305/45/18 or whatever it is. Is there another drag radial for Lightning sizes? You have options if you go with a smaller dia wheel like 15 or 16" M/T and M&H...

the time I spent was getting all those links.. but I believe most of them have a size that is pretty close.. I dont know if they have a load rating suited for a truck though..

Steve, I am very intrigued by those Nittos..

Check out this tire calculator! Put the Stock Lightning tire in the left side and compare all the specs with the tire you are looking at. It also gives speedo error http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalcold.html
