Tire selection on a 1500hp Miata...
So I've got this friend who's building a 1500hp Miata and we can't decide on what tires to run. There were many choices but I've narrowed it down to 2...
30x13.5x15 Mickey Thompson Drag Radials OR 31x16.5x15 ET Streets
Fender rolling is NOT an option.
This is a street-driven car and we're on the fence about it, so what do you think?

Ive herd really good things about this tire, and I would recommend it in that size.

I guess it's possible if the 1500 will be reached with nitrous providing he's running a huge freaking shot and staying out of boost and off the spray as long as he's on the street, otherwise good luck with traction....maybe a spare 5.0 in the trunk to help add weight to the back end?
