its a shame that it takes 22's to make our lowered trucks look good. the problems with the drag radials are:
-they only make them to fit on 18" max wheels i believe, and have a maximum overall diameter of like 27" or so max. they would look weird as your primary tires...
-they get horrible rainy weather traction, so not good for daily driving...
-im sure they have low relative treadware so youd be going through them like crazy if used on the street
the lightnings had a pretty good idea with using lightweight 18's with decent performance tires, but you still wont get nearly the traction that you would with drag radials or true slicks. real slicks would be the way to go, but unfortunately i dont think they make them for anything over a 16" wheel, which i dont think we can even fit on our trucks. maybe with some caliper shaving we could. ill tell ya a set of 16" racing wheels with some hoosiers would be killer...
i guess the problem boils down to, its hard if not impolssible to have a drag strip vehicle that performs just as well on the street. ive come to the conclusion that i will keep my 22's for daily driving. i will have the nice looks, but it will be slower on the street. i may one day invest in two more wheels with some race tires, but again its not cheap...
