Honestly, if you have to ask what size to get, you don't need them.

Full of Lolz!!!! So true. If u don't even know how to measure out drag tires u probably shouldn't get them. Here is why. Do u plan on dragging the car? If yes, then good buy diff and ~$1k. If tracking, then u really don't use them if it is your first time. Get some star spec and call it a day. Great tire!!! Gives awesome grip. That and xs tires r great track tires. I used to drag and street tire will give you good grip and can hook on a good prepared track. Also slicks on a dd, well just say good bye to another s2k. U can't drive slicks in rain.

A drag radial in a 225/50R16 or 245/45R16 if you can find them. Like the others have said make sure you know what you are getting into.

when someone says street slicks...I just dont think of drag radial...maybe it's because I drive an s2000 and not a mustang?
