Favorite Drag Radials

[VT_svt]

Hey guys, looking to get your opinions on your favorite DRs. Got a set of 18x10.5s out back and want a good street tire that hooks really well and doesnt wear too fast, just an overall balanced street/strip tire. Thanks!

If you want something that doesn't wear out too fast the Nitto 555R might be your only choice. I had them before i went to 18's and i really liked them, I would have got them again if they weren't so expensive in 18" size.

x2 for MT ET Street Radials, guys say they only last for 2k, but thats b/s if you only use them on the street and occasional strip. My car is not a track car, but have gotten over 6k on both sets ive had...I only put 2-3k on a year so every few years I need new tires...

MT ET streets FTW!

Mt et streets dr.....mine r almost gone but they still hook like if they were brand new :headbang:

Mickey's are going to be a better tire but i feel they wear faster than the nt555r's i have now. the nittos don't hook as well as the mickeys but they do seem to wear less.

then again, i did do a couple massive burn outs with the mickeys and haven't yet with the nittos...

I don't think anything is going hook harder than a MT drag radial, but for the street, I've used Nittos and BFGs. The Nittos last longer. The BFGs seem to hook a little better.

I like round ones, they roll better.

Dangit Mikey, I just came in here to say

"The ones that mount on wheels seem to work pretty well"

But I see you beat me to the postwhore useless comment of the thread.

 

[mikey94gt]

Why, yes I did..... what other useless knowledge would i depart in a drag-racing thread?

I'll second that. I've run Nittos and BFGs. I'd do the BFG again. For me personally, they did better than the Nittos on wet/rainy days. Def hooked better. BFG were also physically wider when compared to the same size Nitto. I ran 295/35 on my 18x10s.

if your going BFG, you might as well go MT. I never understood why people were even so worried about tread on drag radials....if your worried about tread get a street tire and a set of slicks for the track
