right now i'm running 23" m&h slicks and really dont have the power to spin them (225hp/245tq) can you tell me what you guys know what these tires? will they be good enough? i just want something i can use on the street size is 225-50-15


picture =

 

i dont get it

 

i'm thinking about trading for them, i'm looking for reviews

 

i would never trade slicks for drags...makin 225HP you should be fine with 23's but since your having a hard time get some 22's...and by the way your not supposed to spin slicks...they hook up and go...thats the point of having them

 

well, to answer the question, I really liked mine when I had them... they were the best drag radials I ever owned, and I will be buying another set soon.

 

thanks ykracing

 

yes bfgs are great drag radials but i would never get rid of my slicks for them

 

with the BFGs I was pulling 2.00 60fts all day... These are the best DOT drag radials made..

 

Im on my 2nd set of bfg's.Great tire.I cut low 1.9 60ft all day.Prolly can hit 1.8 60ft

 

I actually managed a 1.82 on these same tires launching on low boost ~220 ft-lbs.

 

you can go fast on these tires

but 97% of the time you will go faster on slicks...

but if you wanted them for the street it would be a deal

 

heat the slicks up better and play with tire pressure

ive got my 60ft's down to a 2.01 with them. a little more burnout and seat time and i expect to see mid 1.9's. i have friends who got 1.8's out of them. and they are streetable unlike slicks.

 

put more air in your slicks

 

wow do you people read?? he said he wants a review on the bfg 225's and how they hook.. he said he is NOT making ENOUGH power to spin his 23 inch slicks, and is wondering if the 225's would be overkill for street use at that power level... my advice is that the more traction the better, i ran 225's for 2 years now, and i stepped up to 235's now due to power change, but yea even if your making 150 whp that tire is awesome for street use.. gl

sorry mom.

go with 225/50/15 Toyo RA1's. its a better all around tire if you wanna do more then just go straight since you say you're going to be daily driving on these. wear is a lil better and we run these on our all motor cars as well as turbo cars.

 

this wont be a daily drivin tire, but the guy flaked out..

anyone wanna make a deal? interested to anything anyone comes up with..

 

Whats the lowest tire pressure you can run on these tires???

 

i run them at 10psi at the track and in the mid to low 30 psi range on the street

 

I run them at 15psi at the track and 30psi on the street

 

i have put as low as 9psi hot in them, never spun them on a 6.5in rim. although my buddy started to leak his at 10psi on a stock 5.5in wide rim

yea. bfg's are good. but i wouldnt trade your slicks for them. i would cut consitant low 1.9's with then and ever third pass or so would knock off a 1.8 sixty foot. but yea. they wear out fast. i woudlnt trade if i was you.

 

I got close to 10,000 miles in my ls turbo hatch making 262 whp when the the track about 3 times a month drive it every day to work, with the ls turbo my best 60' was 1.87 and went 11.87@118 on that power level
my best 60' is a 1.82 with 500hp

 

yeah i'm not going to sell them, i took them out on the street last night..................


i'l save my money and just use these ;-)

 

BFGs are very good .... for track and street .... they hook very nice even with 233whp ...
