Well,congrats on the great 60 ft time and 12 second run. I will stick to my bfg's for now. Thanks for the heads up on the coopers. I wish they were Z-rated.

they have z rated on the website im not sure if the will hook as good maybe a harder tire..........yea 130 sucks because i like my speed and driving 60 miles to work with a lot of long strait aways with no traffic i have time to find it

what about nittos are they good , bad, or better then these cooper tires, i heed some new tires also and befor have turned a 1.991 60 but now i have a 2000 stall and headers and tune so i heed some more traction to get the best out of these new add ons
