Hey guys, Just wanted to get everyones opinion on which drag radial or high performance radial works best on FWD cars. I recently purchased the Falken Azenis Sport Radials and they hook like a mutha' So kick me down some opinions...
 
I was going to post this same question, and start a huge up-roar. :cool:

But anyways- I was going to go with the Nitto 555R, I already have the best lsd, and clutch which makes traction an issue with my T-25 I still have on there. I am going with the 60-1 setup so I am hoping with a spoolup time of 4k I should be doing pretty good.

Any chance you know what you 60ft time is along with your 1/4 mile with the 16g?

Nitto stopped making 555rs in the size we use (for 16s anyway) , I am currently looking for another brand in the sizes we can use in 16
 
Check my profile for my track times and keep in mind that I am a Spyder and weigh a bit more that the hard top. I have not yet ran with my Falken Azenis' yet. And it is a shame that the best drag radial on the market is not sold in out size.
 
I used the bf goodrich g-force drag radial.... they grab out of the hole!!!
I went fron 2.3s to 2.0s in the 60ft. Im going to slicks this year though!

So you dont have an lsd? That is pretty good gettin 2.0's off of just radials...

I got the same 60' with 14" bfgoodrich's and no lsd.
Now I'm using m & h slicks and my 60' are 1.8 and still no lsd but also still spinning out of the hole. Only thing I can say slicks, plus rims and spacers are not cheap.
