Go Nitto 555R2 in the proper size . 275. Do NOT go bigger than 285- you will get less traction, less stability and less cornering - trust I was warned and decided to learn the hard way. Buy tires that fit your rim .

I suggested a 3402 thinking the hellcat came with a 10 or 10.5” wheel

3401 if yers came w 9’s out back

Stay away from nitto. Mickey works better : )

A good back tire is one that is SMOKING!

So the standard size 305 tire is worse?

There are R888Rs, NT555R2s NT05R’s, and a few others that are all decent drag radials for the street. But in your post, you said “slicks”. If you want a drag slick for track only, Sticky Mickey’s (Mickey Thompson’s) are probably the best if you can find them. They seem to be out of stock everywhere like a lot of other tires right now however. Though opinions vary greatly around here among users of each! Really depends on your intended application of street or track.

A 2017 car is going to be a standard body, not a widebody. 275 is stock size.




How about some Continental Extreme Contact Sports. Hopefully everyone catches that as sarcasm.

Lol. I was like wow really so appreciate the clarification : )

The rim is only 9.5 wide so 3401 (“275”) will sit flatter at the same pressure than a 305 would

Ya don’t wanna squeeze the tire on the rim, Mickey’s work better the other way around. Work best w the dimension between the bead wider than the tread.Even the 3401 has more than 9,5 tread

And no one makes a ‘slick’ for a 20” wheel

hoosier made a good everyday slick. Summit has them in stock

if you have a 9.5” rim in these cars a 305 tire will perform worse than a 275 or 285 of the same tire- the car squirms under heavy throttle, tires don’t corner worth a shit and the contact surface of the tire is distorted and you don’t get anymore contact patch- I’d argue you’ll get less .

i was warned by people before I did but I “knew better”. Only to learn the same lesson at my expense

 

[RR4406PAK]

What if you have the 11" rim of the widebody?

 

[VancityCat]

What if you have the 11" rim of the widebody?

Then Go 315 NT555R2 - that’s what I have on my current Redeye .

 

[SickToo]

What does your RE 60 on that tire?

What does your RE 60 on that tire?

haven’t tracked this car yet - it has 1100 miles on it- and it’s in Canada I’m in Florida and haven’t been home for 6 months.
Probably a mid-high 1.6 is possible with that rubber and good conditions - just my estimate
