my question is how good are these for traction? many ppl say this and that blah blah i want to hear from people that actually run these and could possibly give me an actual answer.
on my set up daily i run 380 hp and i'm running on falken azenis rt-615 and they are obviously horrible for traction. i have a set of mickey thompson 255-50 16's and they work wonders, but they don't suite me to ride on daily.. so i was wondering if the bfg's would stick on 2nd 3rd gear pulls that would be great for the streets, and ill just save the mickey thompson for track use. i just dont want to go out and spend the money on bfg's and have similar results that i get with the azenis.

thank you in advance for your help...

Nonsense. The Falken Azenis RT-615 is the stickiest street tire you can get.

If you want better traction, sure, get the drag radials. But I bet you'll probably be complaining that those are "horrible" too. Did you ever think that maybe the problem isn't the tires, but the nut behind the steering wheel?

 

Agreed!

 

sure you could by drag radials but they are only going to last you about a 1000 miles if that.. they come with 4/32nds of tread.. and that compound is very soft and is going to wear very quick...

Your problem is clear: You don't know how to drive within the limits of your tires' traction. It's obvious that you're just mashing on the accelerator and expecting the tires to keep up with the power when street tires - tires that will last you more than a couple thousand miles - can't do that. Don't blame us for the fact that you're clueless.

You're wrong. You're never going to find a "correct" forum because YOU don't understand your problem.

And please don't race on the streets! Stick to the dragstrip, where you can do it safely without endangering other people.

 

thank you so much for all your help and advise..

No problem! I'm always happy to provide helpful advice to people who have half a brains and actually bother listening to what other people say.
