If your making 325 or less DR's will last a little bit longer, but you might as well just use street tires. It's really not until you get over 400 hp when you have bad traction issues( 4th gear traction issues). Then drag radials become important.

Thats quite the strangely opinionated answer...

My car with a little under 300whp was usless until third gear on a DR in a 2700lb coupe...

Alright, its definately my own opinion, but if you use throttle control, street tires hook well with 300hp. Im having traction problems with my 225/50/15 dr's into 4th gear, so my opinion on dr's might be a little different.

I think it helps alot to just run bigger tires. I'm running 225/50/15 BF Goodrich G-force sport, and I only lose traction in 1st gear on a B20/vtec turbo setup in an Integra. These tires are cheap and they last a long time. Traction isn't as good as the DR's of course, but for DD they do the job pretty well.
