Mikey Thompson Drag Radials mate. If it's just for one day I have a set of stock wheels with pretty bald BF Goodrich DR's on that will be going cheaply later in the week.

Did you find anywhere for the MT drag radials?

Mine are 275/40/17 on 9Js they are semi slick so road legal. However Mt's also available for off road use only tend to be in american sizes such as 26.28" The road legal ones are dot marked too.

I am looking into a set of 16s as im hopefully going for 750+hp so my 17's might be up for grabs, You can expect to pay £200 each new for the semis.
