Just because something is street legal doesnt make it a true street item.
Show me anywhere were it says the word street in the word drag radial.
Drag radials are intended for drag racing, not street driving even though they are street legal. A street tire is a radial tire that is intended for street driving only, not drag racing.
Well HOLY FUCKING SHIT!
"It is intended for some STREET use." so according to you an Enduro is intended for some STREET use....but a drag radial is not????
dont blame me your the one that contradicted yourself...
Show me where it says the word STREET in any tire you can buy, Goodyear, BFG, Toyo, Perelli, Michelin, Futura, Hankook, Kumho, Bridgestone, FireStone....do i need to continue??? i dont ever recall seeing the word STREET listed on the tire, or in the name of the tire???? how do you explain that one? If they put STREET on the tire or in the name of the tire does that mean that i then could not use that tire for DRAG racing?
If thats the case at the next TRack Event i dont want to see ANYONE on a STREET TIRE DRAG RACING their vehicle. DRAG RADIALS OR SLICKS ONLY...hell atleast then maybe the track would hook longer.
Yes Drag Radials are intended for SOME drag racing use....how many people on THIS board alone run drag radials on their daily driven vehicle, but yet they dont go to the track more than say 2 times a month??? that sounds more like a street tire intended for the occasional use as a drag tire, it allows the end user(read: person racing) the ability to drive to the track race and drvie home on the same set of tires without having to change them....thus drag radials are a STREET TIRE intended for occasional drag racing use.
so they went through the trouble of getting them DOT approved for............................??? STREET USE maybe ???
EXACTLY! why do you think Mickey Thompson did not bother to get the ET Drag DOT approved, because it is a DRAG tire NOT intended for STREET use.
