BFG T/A Drag Radials, opinions?

Anyone got these on their ride? Ive done alot of reading up on different drag radials for my weekend/track driver. I need to replace my M/T's. Has anyone got any imput on this "alternate" tread pattern I've seen listed? Heres a picture.

Those are going to be between Nittos and MT radials. They will hook better than nittos, but have more mileage and streetability than the MT tires. So if you're looking for something that you'll drive on everyday, get the nitto DR's, but if it's strictly a track tire that you wanna drive to the track, get the BFG. If you have a built rear end, get the MT or Hoosiers.

I went with the BFG's, I gotta say handling wise they are great on a 2 lane country road.

So they handle pretty good then? Have you had to drive them on wet road surfaces yet and if so, how did they handle? I am debating on putting them on as a regular basis tire or just picking up a spare set of wheels and mounting them on there for track purposes only.

I've got the nittos on mine and I dead hook on the street. I'm sure my suspension helps some, but still. They also handle great in the rain SO FAR, we'll see how they do once they lose some more tread lol

If all your going to do is go to the track i'd say go for the BFG's. If you are going to use tham as street duty too, i'd go with the Nitto's.
