Its 1/4 after 9 here now. So I'll start.

Do you all have a 215r60 drag radial that will handle a 5100lb pickup or do I need to find a way to lighten the truck to make it fit the tires limits? Nothing radical just a stock 350 chevy with about oh 390 hp. I just want to drive it to the track and not have to change to slicks for a test and tune then have to change it back to drive it home.

Hope i am not to late!! I am going to be running a 276/60/15 this season and was wondering what is the best rim size to run it on. I have heard 8"-9" is the best. Also With beadlocks will these tires need to be glued aswell. Thanks in advance. NosRat.....

Anything from 8 to 10" wheel width is good. I will state that radials tend to work better on wider wheels.
If you have double bead-locks then you will not need any glue. The bead-locks should do the work. I will say that we looked at Eric Dillards radials this week at Valdosta and they had moved on the wheel enough to buckle the sidewall when sitting still. We had to release the tire from one side to get it back to happy. If you are only running the outer bead-lock then the only secure method for the inside bead will be wheel screws. Glue is not a sure thing - and the tire and wheel package will not provide optimum results if the tire is twisted on the wheel.
Hope that helps!

Not today....

You never know what the future may bring, but that size in a drag radial is not on the radar screen at this time.

Thanks for asking!
