Question Best Drag Radials?
I am going to be purchasing some Drag Radials for my car and wanted to know which ones are the best for traction in the 1/4?

and Where is the best place to buy them (online or local)?

for the track, BFG's are better than nittos, but thier tread life is a lot lower. for the street i like my nittos, they grip hard as fuck when warmed up and last a good while

BFG=0 treadwear rating
Nitto R=100 treadwear rating

BFG will hook the best, but will not last the longest. If you are going with a track only tire, see if hoosier or Mickey Thompson has size in their cheater slick selection

Falken doen't make drag radials. If it is for track use, either BFG Comp TAs or GForce TAs. If you want them on the street Nitto 555r. I run the Nittos because my car is a street car and rarely sees the track.
