I'm running mid 600's at the rear wheel in a 1996 GMC K1500. I want to run it down the track this spring but need a good set of tires and rims under it. I don't think the Michelin AT's will cut it. I'm also interested in the widest tire on the front and the back I can fit without trimming. Any help here woud be greatly appreciated.
Mickey Thompson ET Streets work good for most guys.
Yes, I've looked at those and the ET Street Radial. I think I like the radial. The only thing I don't like is the wet traction. I probably should have clarified that I would like to run these around town also. The truck is driven a lot in the summer.
What size would you recommend?
Not sure on sizes, buddy - just know at the track a lot of guys run the MT ET Streets. That's about as far as my knowledge goes.
NP, any and all input is beneficial.
I would try and keep you stock setup for the street and then do some DR's for the track--similar to the ones Yankee said... You could probably do with some 28" or 29.5" at the biggest. I think there are some 26.5" out there, but those may be too small. Are you running 2WD or 4WD at the track??

I'll be running 2WD until I get the Atlas transfer case installed then I will be doing 4WD runs.
Do you think these would fit?
