List your tires
I was searching through the forum for info as to what people where using and their opinions towards it. Found a few threads, but I figured it would be a helpfull and resourceful thread if we all posted our mods or hp, and what tires and sizes have worked for them.
- I currently have 245/35 19 and 255/35/19, BFG KDW 2. Procharger and I get No traction whatsoever. Selling my 19's and getting 18's so I can run Nitto 555r DR's all the time.

You're running 255's in the rear? that's probably your problem right there--tires too skinny.. I'm running 285's on 10.5 wide rims and i wanna go to 295 or 305's when these wear out.. (my fenders are rolled)..

I know how you all like magazine reviews, but for what it's worth...

I can talk from personal experience from running the following on my Z,
1. Toyo T1Rs 245/35/19 – 275/35/19 = Great dry, Ok wet
2. BFGs KDW, 245/35/19 – 275/35/19 = Great wet, ok dry
3. Goodyear F1, 245/35/19 – 275/35/19 = Awesome dry, Awesome Wet

Great input. I think I am leaning towards the Nitto's. I was going back and forth between selling my wheels and tries that I have now(19x8.5, 19x9.5/245/35/19 255/35/19) buying the same or similar wheel in 18 inch and running Dr's all the time, or just getting and old set of wheels and mounting dr's on them for the strip. I read that it was impossible to get a good 60 foot with the tires that I have now, even if they were wider due to the compund being hard.

It is between the BFG and the Nitto Dr's. I may do a feeler sometime in january to see if anyone is interested in my current wheels/tires. Let them go for cheap.
