Default Road Legal Drag Tyres

What would you guys reccomend for use on the Strip, the tyres must be road legal i.e treaded for use in the competitions over here in the UK.

Thanx in advance

We non-americans have trouble getting BFG DR's as the market isn't large enough to warrant importing them.
Can you get 13 inch BFG DR's? Link to a site with sizes??
Thanx

Edit: I use Yokohama 205/60 x 13 A032's with limited success...

I've found some that I can get very easily and you should be able to too B16a4, they're called Hoosier Pro Street and come in 245/50/15's ideal for me as I gotta run 15" wheels to clear my brakes.

They come in other sizes too check out www.hoosiertireuk.com or www.hwwe.com for a distributor in Australia.........

Thanx. My tyres are only two months old so I'll have to wait for them to wear out before updating,

No worries, glad i could help you.

Used to run on 195x60x14 Yoko Ao32R's myself, ended up selling them to a mate when I could no longer get the 14" wheels over my front NSX brake set up
