Hopefully with in the the week or so im going to get my drag radials. Ive been looking at some and havent decided. What is the best drag radial?

 

The new Mickey Thompson's are supposed to "grip like a ***** f*cker".... or so I hear

 

yeah the mickey t's are supposed to be great. My friend just put them on his 2002 ta im gonna see how well they do. I think im gonna go with the compt/a drag radial 315/35/17's they look bad *** on my car

 

more traction = shorter tire life

 

exactly, you just have to fogure out which is more important to you.

 

bf's for track(softer compound), nittos more of a street strip tire...great in rain btw

 

shorter rear life too.

 

Ets and BFG will last about 2000 street miles due to their extremely soft tread compound. Basically they are nothing more than groved slicks. Nittos are good for 10,000+ street miles but you will not get as much traction as the other two tires. Prices on all three are similar. I just replaced my Nittos with 15,000 miles on them.

 

I can usually get one full season out of a pair of bfg's, thats with a lot of track time, a good amount of street racing, and a bunch of street driving. I have been using bfg's for the last 2 season's, but i think i may try the mt's out next year.
