FWD users-----Opinion on Drag radials??

[JRod]

Just like the subject says, who out there has a FWD and has experience with Drag radials, either BFG or Nitto. Post up what your combo of wheels and tires is. I will be in the market next season and want some opinions/ experiences from the FWD crowd. Thanks.

Ive been using 225/50R16 nitto 555r's and they hook up pretty good, on stock settings with a k&n I was running 14.4 with 1.9 60 ft with limited tire spin. I only use the nittos cause I get a good deal through work. If I could get the bfg's I would. just personal opinion.

Last time I used Drag Radials was quite some time ago, But BFG are pretty good, you heat em' up a bit and they give you good traction, Although if you have too much boost you'll spin alot anyway, yet this radials help you to not get much spin on 2nd and 3rd gear if not any... It' all depends how fast you dump the clutch...

Right now I have a set of Khumo Ecstra for daily driving and when I used to race them I didn't have that bad of traction either (14 lbs)

i've been looking to getting some drag radials for some 15 x 8 wheels. I want some 225/50R15. The best two drag radials i've heard for that size is the BF's and MT's. Which would you guys choose? I've heard great things from both, but also which one would you also say has more longevity and grip.

Is there a reason you want radials over slicks? I've talked with numerous people lately about this topic and from what I've read and been told is radials are not the way to go. They are very prone to wheel hop and have been told people can spin them at 140mph.

well mainly because i want to beat my friend with Drag radials, since that's what he has and i don't want him to give me the excuse that the only reason i beat him is i have slicks.

i will be getting slicks later also but for now i just want to look for the better of those two drag radials.

I have a set of BFG 215/60r14 DR's on stock 14" steelies, I love them. If you get over to PA sometime you can try them out. Just PM me
