I am going to order up a new pair of BFG drag radials today and I need to get a new set of rear tires to go with them. I was just looking for some suggestions as to what you guys would recommend for the rears and why. Preferably something in a 205/50/15. Thanks,

Pfieff

toyo t1-s is probably the lightest street tire out there, only weighs 16lbs in the 15' size and handles pretty good too

Are you going to be daily driving with the BFG's? I wouldn't worry too much about what rear tires to get. Personally, the cheapest tire you can find should do. But be careful if the tire you choose isn't very "sticky". If you were to take a corner too fast, your rear end will come around. I have experienced this before.

 

you should pay attention to the tire's speed rating as well.. Not sure what kinda racing you do, but if you buy a cheap tire, make sure you can do well over 100mph on it.
