New tires for 17 inch wheels

[AdamIsAdam]

I have about 400-425 tops. I can spin in first 3 gears right now, but my current tires are 7 years old and hard as a rock (despite only having under 2k miles). Hancooks.

I have used Nitto drag radials before all the time on my 64 GTO and it handled fine. Anything less than a drag radial was like driving on ice. I'd go for a more all around extreme summer tire but you cannot get them in my sizes.

I want to be able to take an exit ramp at MODERATE speed without worrying it's going to spin on me. I was just talking to a buy with a Superformance and he just installed these Nittos (on 18" wheels) and he said they handle great all around and he can get on it without breaking the tires loose. That's what I want.

If I could get Michelin Cup 2's or Super Sports like the ones on my GT350, I'd do it, but they don't come in my sizes, not even close on the rears.
