neither one.. Mickey Thompson ET streets. 26/10.5/16 $189 each at jegs-summit. These will yield better 60 footers and save your driveline.

they asorb shock because they wad up as you launch, DR have stiffer side walls so they dont wad up like full slicks. The taller the DR on a smaller rim like a 275/60/15 the better though, it does have some wad effect.
