drop D string packs

[Oreomeister365]

So I play drop D a lot, only problem is this makes my low string a little floppier than the others and stand out too much. Do any string brands sell sets with a low 110 instead of 105 and the others standard? 85 65 45...

It'd be easier than ordering a whole lotta individual strings


thanks

Fender 8250's come with a 110 Taper Wound E string. I believe LaBella makes a drop-D specific set as well.

When I added drop-D tuners to my Fenders, I switched to the 8250's mentioned above to maintain tension when dropping to D. They've worked great. GHS Boomers come in a .050-.115 set, which would be good too. They're relatively high tension strings anyway, and I've been fine with a .050-.105 set on my G&L using a drop tuner.
