Default Drag tires...

I was curious as to what time differences a set of drag radials would make on a 1/4 track time, and what brand people preffer most... i don't want slicks nor do i have the power yet to have them be worth it... and how well do these tires hold up on the street? thanks for the input...

they make a pretty big difference if you have a lot of tire spin through the 60ft up to the 330 mark....My car went from spinning like hell 2.2 and 2.3 60fts with a 13.4 1/4 @ like 110-114 mph to...still spinning like hell but 2.1 60ft and 12.9 1/4 @ 109 so drag radials do help a little!!!!

Just wondering what rpm did you launch at? I'm planning to use some of these exact tires, and I'd much prefer a slower time then having my itr tranny blow up in my face. Wicked times by the way for street tires.
