Opinions on Gears and Drag Radials

Just wanted to know what brand of gears I should get and where to go for them. I want 4.10's b/c my car is a six speed. I was also wondering what is a great set of drag radials for a car that is driven a considerable amount.

Re: Opinions on Gears and Drag Radials

Motive gears or Richmond are both good, you can ge the pretty much from any of the suporting vendors here or summit racing. Drag radials I would say Nittos, they are a little harder compound, I have gone through 3 sets of BFG's in 2 years but I like to RACE.

I like the Motives also. For a daily driver drag radial there is no question I'd go with Nittos. My last set lasted about 13k miles.

Re: Opinions on Gears and Drag Radials

i have richmond gears. there is mininmal noticable noise, but i may be a little bit picky when it comes to that. and for drag radials, I bought the new Mickey Thompson's last summer and love them at the track. I do not recommend driving on them on the streets unless you have some kind of sick fetish for soft side walls in the curves

Re: Opinions on Gears and Drag Radials

I would say the Nittos are good for a DD DR tire...

As for gears... I'm not one to recommend one.. I went through 3 sets of Motive's in 2 weeks with sticky DRs... so... I'm not one to recommend swapping gears on the 10-bolt.. although many many others have had good luck.
