Drag radials

[TA98]

Im looking for a set of drag radials and wanted to hear peoples preference. I wanted a reasonably streetable tire for occasional grocery store trips

[LeadFarmer]

Are you looking for a Drag Radial made for the street that could be used at the track, OR a set made for the track that could be used on the street? Also knowing your mods would help in choosing the right tire.

Longevity = Nitto 555R. Stickiness = Mickey Thompson ET Street Drag Radials...

[TA98]

3.73's, Full exhaust, lid, tune. Soon to come full suspension, tubular k member, 3600-4000 stall.

Track then street. but i was kinda looking at the bfg's or M&H

[67CamaroRSSS]

Sorry I'm not much more help. I've only had the Nitto's or the M/T's in a DR...

You're car will probably run similar to mine (see sig).

[Z28boy2000]

i picked up a set of nitto's and i really like them for a street/track tire

[BLK2KSS]

Ive got 555Rs on mine. I love em! best choice out there, imo, if youre like me who drives it over 90% of the time on the street.

I had Nitto 245-50-R16's before the stall. They worked well then with a best 1.9x 60'.

After the installation of a 3400 stall (see sig) the Nitto's spun like stock tires regardless of how I launched. That's when I stepped up and went with the Mickey's (255-50-R16 with stock salad shooter rims). Now it's "dead hook city" off of the line with a best 1.73 60'. I've burned thru 2 sets of gears (pinion bearings mostly) with these tires...

[LeadFarmer]

I use toyo proxy tq's. For a close to stock car they're great, hook every time. I would imagine that you'd need something a bit beefier though because of your stall and gears.

[67CamaroRSSS]

Hmmmm, sig wouldn't show....

How about now?

[TA98]

still no sig showing up. but i want a more race tire. not 555r's. They're going on 15" welds. fatties in the back skinnies up front. they just need to have a DOT number so i can race street class

[camaross1]

check out the specs on the new Nittos NTO5

[TA98]

^^^^ I've looked at them and like the 05r's but havvent seen a 275/50 size. Just 16" and larger sizes

Look at post #3, his sig is there.

[Mr. Luos]

BFG's sound right for you.

Won't get too many miles out of them though.

[TA98]

Not to worried about miles. I've only put 250 miles on it in the past month.

[Mr. Luos]

Triple mine.

Not worried about miles?? Get the MT's.

[Hi-Po]

Triple mine.

Not worried about miles?? Get the MT's.

Agreed. MT are awesome.

[35th-ANV-SS]

X3 If miles are not a concern, go MTs.

[67CamaroRSSS]

Triple mine.

You drive it alot. I put only 8 miles on the 02 since coming back from the LA Invasion in May...
