Can you drive drag radials in the rain?
I was looking at maybe getting some BFGoodrich G-Force T/A Drag Radial Tires mounted on the rear tires. I only go to the strip once or twice a month, but I am sick of having absolutely no traction(the night I go on they don't spray VHT, or whatever the sticky crap is called).
My purchase hangs on basically if I can drive this tire in the rain. I will not get them if it is even remotely unsafe to drive them in the rain. I am also wondering how long will these tires last? And do they ride at least halfway decent?

okay, I was trying to be cheap and drive on my drag radials everyday with the stock wheels.
I'll have to go with option 2, a set of mickey thompson E.T. Streets, since they require a DOT tire in my class. Guess I'll have to get some wider wheels too. And a line lock for the brakes

My friend has the BFG G-Force T/As on his Vette. Its not a happy tire in the rain. He won't go over 40mph in the rain.
I have Nittos on my car and I've been upto 70mph in the rain no problem.
