Who runs a 17" Drag Radial?

MrSimms · 07-23-2002, 03:31 PM

I was wondering who was runnin a 17" rim w/ BFG Drag Radials and what thier 60' times were...

And if anyone has a close setup to a car runnin 17's thats runin 15's with the BFGs and their 60' times...I'm tryin to get a lil comparison here...Ulitmately less sidewall is less traction...but how much less?...I was lookin for a 275 width comparision...

Or if anyone just flat out knows...that would be great...

i've ran 255 50 16 bfg, 275 40 17 bfg and 275 60 15 nittos. the 17s hooked the best out of the bunch. seemed like they had a softer side wall then the 15 nittos. i would pull consistant low 1.8s with the 17. i was only getting low 1.9s with the 15s. i wish i would of gotten the 15 bfg instead of the nittos maybe they would of hooked better.

Well...we got the 17's outta the way...now anyone with a similar set-up as blkchevyz and runnin a 15" rim with 275 BFG Drag Radials?...I'd like to get the 50 and 60 series in on this too...

blkchevyz - were the nittos spinnin? or just not as quick 60'ers?...and did you regear for the dia. change?

the nitto's were spinning... they just didnt seem to hook as well. i dont think the tire size is that much different.
