tire and rearend questions
ok i got some cash together and id like to get myself some drag radials (Nitto 555s or BFGs) and 3.73s in the rear with the TA cover. my questions are....
1) people rave about how big a difference drag radials can make on a street car but is their wet traction acceptable for a daily driver?????
2) DRs are directional, correct???
3) how many miles can i get out of a pair approximately since i dont think they can be rotated??? (unless of course u run 4 of them but that seems like a waste of money, does anyone do this???)
4) is the TA cover worth the $150..does it really seem to help the rear hold up????
5) will 3.73s and DRs mke the car UNDRIVEABLE in the rain or just a little more difficult?????
6) very simply, Nittos or BFGs???
NEED SOME ADVICE....ANY REPLY APPRECIATED

it will be difficult in the rain (already is) not impossible tho... it WILL be impossible in snow tho... don't waste your money on 3:73's unless the only performance you want is southern style 1/8th mile dragging with some HUGE *** rear DR's (read 2:73's vs. 3:42's).... spend your money actually making power or reducing restriction...
