    Looking into picking up pair of drag radials for next season.
    What have you guys run and how do you rate them for street and track use??

    I was running M&H 275/60R-15. They rolled great down the road and I went from getting rubber in 3rd to about a 10 ft max holeshot. I may be able to get them off the guy that bought the car. I think he's going to change back to street tires.

    I used M/T ET drag radials. They work great at the track. Not sure on how long they'd last on the street.:)

    Same here and I run mine on the street all the time. Got about 2000 miles on them and about 30 passes at the strip. Still look practically new. And they hook good enough at the track to break axles...believe me, I know! :)

    I run BFG 275-60-15 DR with about 2000 street miles and 5-6 passes, look great. A good compromise for my ride.

    Thanx guys. Take me a few years to rack up 2000 miles so it looks like I'd get a few seasons out of them. If I got 2 seasons out of em I'd be happy. I think this is the way to go next year.
