on your 17x9s the only 315 drag radial that will fit right is a nitto 555r. they are the narrowest 315 out there. any other 315 needs an 11" wheel, rolled lips and maybe some massaging to the wheel wells

If you want something highly streetable, the Nitto 555r's are always a good bet. They give you decent traction and ride pretty well. Sidewalls aren't bad either (hell I use them in autox and seekonk). Will they give you unbelievable traction? No. Will they last as long as a street tire? No. But they make a good all around tire for a streetable drag tire.

Thanks for the input guys, sounds like the Nitto 555R is the way to go! I appreciate the input, ive heard about them but never really had any input on them before.

I wouldn't do the 315 on the stock wheel if you are looking for traction cause the contact pattern will be off with a smaller rim will it work yes. However best of you got a wider
rim.

If you don't have to worry about longevity and just looking for traction I love my 275/40/17 toyo tqs, grip for days. Not awesome in the wet but its manageable, dunno if you DD your car, or whats on it currently for tire.

i DD it yes, its a 10-12mile max round trip, w 4-5miles each way highway driving. I do have a garage w a lift to store it in the winter so im obv not worried about that. I have a 2000 blazer 4x4 that i can use anytime/winters. i was thinking maybe even a 295?
