    Best 60' on stock rim

    Before you say it, I've searched and read nearly every post on this forum about tires and traction. I've read a lot of members' opinions on the Kumho's and Hankooks. I didn't see much on the BFG KDWs. I have the 58" rancho bars and the stock Goodyear GTIIs. My best 60' is 2.131

    What I'm after is experience or opinions from drivers who've been to the track and launched their trucks on the stock rims. I don't care about rain, snow, or tread wear.

    I want to know what tire gives the best 60' on the stock rim. Also, what 60' times were you able to get with your tire choice.

    Thanks!

    BTW those Fuzion tires are about $130 each at Firestone/Bridgestone dealers everywhere.

    Add me to the 1.9x list with the stock goodyears. I had to do a good burnout to get them hot and somewhat sticky though. Oh and I had 6# lower pulley and Predator tuner with that. Now I've changed to a Kenne Bell supercharger and added another 40HP and the best I can do is a 2.1x 60ft because the goodyears just will not hook up with the extra power. I'm probably going to get some Hankooks or Kumho tires next as a lot of people have been much happier with the traction those tires provide.

    Thanks again guys...

    One follow-up question.. Given the limited tire choices for the stock rim, what tire would you use to get your best 60' with the stock rim? (again, best 60' is the goal, not wet traction nor mileage)

    Thanks!
