I have a pair of the old design. I'm wondering how much better the new ones are.

Those tires are awesome, I got a 2.0 60ft with em. Much better than the previous BFG DR's.

I needed those too. The Pirelli's wern't cutting it. A word of advice though(don't ask how I know this), be sure to wait until you're sure all 4 of your tires are heated up before going hot into a sharp corner with those on the front. Cold rears can make for fun, but fairly unpredictable, tail out sliding.

Well maybe its the track but i for one am not impressed. Even going with low psi i still get a lot of wheel spin.

Might be the track though cuz its brand new and theres not alot of rubber on there. Also they only allow 5 sec. for burnout.

They are soft...maybe too soft because they worm right away..again maybe just the track. They are directional but someone here posted once to run them backwards. *shrugs*

Just for the heck of it i'm gonna try my mazda 15's/ azenis combo and see if my times get better.

the old DRs sucked ***. my friend bought them and they dropped like .1 of his time. true POSs. i on the other hand bought NITTOs. first run dropped .4 off my 1/8th. equalled out to about .2-.3 on the 60ft side. with no changes to the car i ended up droppin .6 consistently. then b4 last summer the resurfaced the launch pad. now im almost back to my old 60fts. my car has so much potential where 2 seasons ago it was runnin to its fullest. damnit.
