Which tire....

[MustangEater8251]

Bald original Eagle GAs, with 36,000 miles on them.

I have mustered a few 2.16XS 60's but no better.

Or I have a set of Kuhmo 712s, 275/40/17 sitting in my apartment and some ZR1 17X9.5 rims. My plans are to put the tires on the rims today, regardless but the rims might not make it on the car just yet(still waiting for centercaps and lugs)

I know the 17s are heavier, lower profile(not ideal for drag racing less flex) but they are new... softer rubber and 40 mm wider.(275 vs 235)

Don't doubt the power of teh Eagle GA! By going to the ZR1 wheels, you're going to add about 25 lbs of unsprung rotational mass, you will et slower and have a lower mph. Buy some used nitto's for $100 somewhere, well worth it.
