18" drag radial suggestions?

I'm running factory black 19" wheels on my 2015 F82. Looking for a set of rear 18" drag radials that I can install only for track days. These will not see the street. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I'd recommend something 18x10 preferably forged and under 20lbs

Did you or anyone else ever do this?

I'd love to see how it turned out.

If its just for drag racing I would skip on the R888's. why use a road race tire for the drag strip? Theyre too expensive and the amount of life you will get out of them is bad. On my old E46 M3 making over 600whp and 450wtq I used mickey Thompson et street 2 and they were awesome on the street and drag strip. I actually daily drove them and got more than 6000 miles on them.

I was referring to the OP post talking about drag ravaging. I would still not go R888 on the street. Too expensive and way to scary in the rain. If that's not a problem then go for it

I can put the car on the shelf and drive the truck on rainy days, plan around the weather a bit.


It's nice not having to daily it, anymore.


Tires should be in by this weekend.
