In all honesty,NIETHER tire is good for drag racing.
Both tires you listed are for handling/wet/dry traction.
They dont have the compound OR sidewall flexibility for anything remotely close to a tire meant for drag racing.

I personally prefer BFG street tires over Goodyear. But wouldnt consider either 1 of the 2you are looking at for any kind of reliable track performance. You either get a street tire,or a race tire,or get a spare set of wheels and buy both.

there in lies the whole problem,there is no such "magical" tire that excells at both.
I offered my opinion,and it is based on experiance,good luck in your decision and hopefully you wont get TOO disappointed at the end results.

ok i never said i wanted a magical tire, and thank you for advice, i just want a tire that is good at driving in the rain like the eagle f-1 is or the g-force is but offers the BEST just best in traction for the track, doesnt have to be drag radial like or slick like in comparison, just the best there is out there while being street tires, thanks! No need for your sarcasm also, i appreciate what you said, i never once said give me a magical tire that is like a racing slick but can drive great in rain, so no need to act like that

You are comaring apples to oranges. The comparable BFG to the Eagle F1 would be the KDW or perhaps the KD, not the KDWS. I have not tried the F1, I have a set of KDW's and like them for street use though, if that's any help.
