I would say that you all ready need them at the track now !!! So, I recommend the M/T Drag Radials at the track. I ran a TCI 3600 locker for a while, and it was very street friendly. I now have a 4600 in it with a 4.10 moser / spool rear !!!

get nitto 555r tires at the very least.
BFG DRs would be better.

Yes, I would get some Drag Radials.

If you want to enjoy the stall, yes.

I'd for sure go for some decent drag radials.. Ive been running m/t radials on my stock wheels for about a year now and I cant complain.

Agreed, i have the smaller nitto 555r and i manage to pull 1.74 60' at the track. and there price is hard to beat in jegs, i think they are at $139 a piece.

even on the street the nittos work great.

What would some of you guys choose? BFG DR or the Nitto 555R. I've heard people rave about the BFG, but I don't want my DR to last 5k. I hear the nittos last a bit longer. Can I do a few burnouts and still have them last 2 summers? lol

But then I hear the BFG DR sits a lot wider on the rim and i like that look...so idk maybe the nitto does too. I just want it to be sticky when i heat them up, that way i can still screw around and slide into turns and stuff, but when I heat them up I want them to hook. maybe this isn't possible and i'll just get the Nitto..sorry long post

i had nittos and ditched them for bfg.
once you get past 350 rwhp the nittos dont grab all that great on the street.

**allbaugh_04** · 12-28-2007, 03:29 PM

is there any slippage with bfg with the 379rwhp you have? do you have a stall?

Stay away from the nitto's. I made like three passes on them and now they sit in my garage with no track time in sight. Couldnt get them to hook at all. I like the Mt's.
