Ok, here is the scoop. I am looking for new rubber for the car. I am hearing that drag radials will be to much for the stock rear end? Or can I get away with drag radials? I dont plan on going to the track too often or launching at high rps. What am I better off with, regulars or drags? Thanks fir any input.

 

if ur not gonna go to the track very much...then get soem Z-rated street tires....

 

Since you live in the same area, I know what the weather is like around here. It rains (a lot). DR are not much good in the rain, for one thing. So if your car is a daily driver, they are not what you want for that reason and others. Among the others is that they wear rapidly.

hey man i live in th buffalo area too.....the rain does suck.....i didnt even think about that...some nice street tire that are good in and out of rain would be a good choice

 

My Nitto's work well in the rain, until about the 75% of the tread is gone, then they get interesting.... once I'm down to the nice bald strip running down the center, I don't even risk bringing it outta the garage...

I typically get 10K miles outta them before they become non-streetable (Where they are completely treadless in the center)

 

Yokohama AVS Sports hook hard and are very solid in wet weather. I used to run the A520 which is the older version and I loved them. I now run the F1 GSD3 and they are okay but not nearly as sticky as the Yok's.
