Default New Drag Radial RWD Record, Not Import

Rick Head from Innovative Turbo went 7.66 186 MPH in Orlando this weekend and also won the race on MT radials. Car weighed 3400 with a twin turbo small block chevy. The car was very simple and worked perfectly.

Its an ET street but I do not think it is a bias ply. It could be, but Nopi was letting an SRT-4 run them this weekend in the powerstreet class which is no bias ply class. anyone know for sure? that is an awesome time, im assuming no wheelie bars and 325 wide?

No... these are M/T Radials... the just came out within the past 4 months...

All the RWD guys who aren't sponsored by BFG are switching to the M/T Radial.... the size they are using is 295/60/15 and it's hooking up better then the BFG 325/50/15 ..

They make a 235/60/15 which us FWD cars can use... and there are a couple local cars who are going to be getting them

Also the car is a camaro... an older one like an 86 or so

Anybody know how much those tires go for? My dad and I might consider them for our Vette.
