Default ? for FWD turbo drivers

I'm looking for good tires street / strip . I run 225 50 16's on my CSXT. I'm running kumho ecsta supra 712's and they won't hold the power. Last time I had it at englishtown I had horrable 60 foot times 2.7 sec. to be exact. but still went 100 + mph. any sugestions?

SOunds like you should try a combo of DOT slicks, and staging your boost.

I've always wanted to try out the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS D3's, they're rated very well and are street legal.

What is a CSXT, never heard of it............. Custom STX?

Slicks are not street legal anywhere, that I know of. They might not bother you, but not legal

casper, in the 1980's carol shelby worked with Dodge to make the GLH ( omni 1986 ). The GLHS ( charger 1987 ). 1987 - 1989 shelby made the CSX , CSX-T, and CSX-VNT, all were turbo dodge shadows.

if you cant get slicks in that size (although im almost positive that hoosier makes a quick time pro in you size) look to yokohama....they have the parada spec-2..in my RT, i couldnt spin them...and while i know you have alot of power than i do, theyre better than kumhos....

Here are a great street legal drag radial, the BF Goodrich G-Force T/A Drag Radial (left, FWD and low profile; right, RWD):
