    Not so good at the drags

    Couldnt hook up. Spun through first and second, was shifting into third right at the end of the track. Best run all night was a 9.08 at 84 mph. Need drag radials. and performance parts!

                DR's are definetely your friend. If you're gonna do a lot of street driving on them I'd go with the Nitto's. They don't hook the best of all the DR's but they last quite awhile. Above those for traction would be the BFG's, but you'll sacrifice a few miles of wear, and then if you wanna go nuts go with the new MT DR's. I'm not sure how many miles people are getting out of them but I definetely plan on picking some up as soon as I get this bitch tuned. FRUM DIGS!

                        Dunno. I'm happy I beat the ricers though! Now I just need to hook and go faster.

                          My Nitto DR's were fine in the rain.

                          Seriously....From what I've seen, I have about 12k on my Nitto's and will still get some of this season on them (should be throwing them on in the next few weeks) with about 150 passes at the strip over the last 2 years. BFG's...you will be lucky to get 6k on the street out of them, MT's, I've been reading 2k or less.

                            The M/T drag radials suck. Fast Mark and CAMSS30 can tell you all about the problems with the tread literally tearing off the tires. Lee, go with the Nittos...they work great with lots of heat in em and you won't end up in a ditch if you get caught in some rain.
