what is the best 15" tire for drag racing, that is DOT approved?

 

alot of people like the nitto drag radial because it dose not require quite as much heat to get traction, but there are also quite a few guys out there that swear by the bfg and new mickey thomplson tire. Personally Ive only had a chance to try the nitto and hooked real well, but the only thing I really have to compare it to is a regular street tire.

 

BFG drag radials...absolutely loved em...cut a 1.9 60' with them. in an EK with GSR and bolt ons

1.8-1.7's here!

 

Alot of the drag radials are great i have ran on A008 dont know if they make them anymore i have ran on nitto 555r also the mickeys the mickeys wore down quick though they had a really soft compound. I also hear great things about BFG's. So to say which tire is better i havent the slightest clue it would all depend what you had the best luck with . try to find someone with these tires listed above and try them for yourself. Alot of people here on H-T have good input. good luck!!

 

1.9s here with the nitto 555rs and my car weighs over 2300lbs

i tried the bfg's and didnt like them at all, all they did was wheel hop....maybe i didnt heat them up enough or low the psi enough but all i know is that i love my nittos

4k street driven miles and 20 passes down the track and their still at 50% tread
