wat do yall think of these in the new tread pattern im thinkin about buying them next week and just wanna know if the are worth it its the bfg ta drag radial they are gonna be for weekend and track use as well as daily driving

 

do not use them as daily. what kinda power are you putting down, and size you want?

 

450 whp plus daily drivin and i dont drive but like 3 miles a day to work so its not to bad and 205 50 15

 

205 wont hold that much..225 will work better but not great....I just wore out a set in only 1500miles.they suck

 

wow really that really makes me not want them

wat do u recommend i do drive to fl from nc every once and a while so wat is gonna last me

 

drag radials aren't meant for the street, let alone daily drive. Unless your one of those people that has nothing else to do with there endless supply of cash.

 

then wat do u recomend i need traction but i need tire life i plan on buying slicks for the track but i need to hook up on the street to

 

the only way your going to hook on the street is 225 or 235. There still only going to last one long night of racing, or a couple short nights. I prefer racing @ the track

 

there was a topic like this last month,, get some good street tires ( i run dunlop z101 ) and us boost by gear .... best bet

 

i have boost by gear but wat tires is everyone runnin on the street that have decent traction and last a while

 

These are the tires i been running for the past 8+ years... probably the best your gonna get....


BFG Drag Radial 225 50 15 (lasted one summer)
M&H Race Masters 235 60 15 (lasted one summer)

 

225 hoosier drag radials hook alot better than bfgs but last about the same. no drag radial is going to last that long especially at that HP. im going with 225 et streets next.

 

205 shouldnt even be an option. i wasted a set from 50% to flat bald in about 15 minutes at 350 hp last spring. bought some 225s after that and got maybe 5000 miles but id only run low boost of 350whp on the street. at 430hp even the bfg 225s lit up all the way through 3rd, up to around 100mph.


as was mentioned earlier in the thread, combine boost by gear and i think the mt et streets.

 

ok wats a good long lasting street tire so i can save my slicks for the track

 

well the mick thompsons will et you the traction but they are about 175 each and idk about your car but mine doesn't like to turn with 26 inch tires in the front of it. at this point you are going to have to buy tires alot anyways, they are going to spin either way, but the 26's will def get you some traction in 2nd gear!!

 

the BFG drag radials a lot of people are running when they are in the 13 through 12 second range, otherwise they are pretty ineffective. and they are drag radial, they really shouldn't last too long on the street either way

 

mickey thompson makes et streets in 225/50/15 for us imports!!!!!!!! thats what im trying next since the bfgs and hoosiers werent the greatest.
