Falken Azeni RT-615, good for drag as well as auto-x?

alright these Azeni's ive heard amazing things about them for auto x, but what about in a strait line, im sick of spinning my tires anywhere from 2-60 mph. i want something then when i hammer on in 1st ill bite.

yes im putting in a 12 bolt,

is the only way im going to get this is with a drag radial?

or would the azeni suffice.

The RT-615 is a great tire but it isn't a drag radial.

Get drag radials if you want traction at teh drag strip. DRs will make a difference.

I'm drooling over them too.......beings that they have enough sideways grip, they should have enough go forward grip.

not true. a good drag tire will have more sidewall flex, whereas a cornering tire has a stiffer sidewall

both, just dont expect to get more than 5000-7500 miles on em. depends how much you spin.

im keeping my stock tires with a stiff sidewall for Auto-X.

and im running a BFG drag radial for daily driving, im sick of spinnin my wheels. so this should help it out. i wanna start getting some power down.

A good drag tire yes....but this isn't a drag tire. The tread pattern and compound are both quite sticky...no, the sidewall won't ball up like a set of drag radials or slicks...but it also won't fall over in a corner.
