i was thinking of selling them to save up for weld skinnies & 10" rims for the rear.
they are 26/11.5/17 & are mounted on 2003 cobra ann. rims...
the tires still have a lot of life left because they don't need a long burnout, they still have all tread grooves.they are super sticky my best 60 ft. was 1.69!
9 times out of 10 you get what you pay for when you purchase tires forballer760 said:I have to buy some drag radials for the track. I can't hook worth a damn on my $100 Khumo's. My best 60ft with my new mods is worse than ever! A 2.408!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The agony!!!!! Anyway, I have an auto with a stock converter with my mods in my signature. What tires should I get? Nittos? BF Goodrich? ???
Oh, and should I get some Weld Draglites with them too? Or what?
Yes sticky tires are the key my friend.urban96 said:with an automatic to get good 60ft times you gonna need gears, shiftkit, and a converter to cut some nice 60ft times. oh and sticky tires

first good post i've seen from you. congrats, i couldnt have said it better myself. keep it upMustangLife said:I just wanted you guys to know that are thinking of nitto dr's. I have since pulled the nittos off cause they were bald. I want you guys to know I got 6,000 miles out of them from brand new to near baldness. In the summer they were great tires, but when winter/fall came. These tires on dry pavement were like trying to race in the rain. My car was mildy modded 256 rwhp, 4.10, suspension, some weight reduction. But when it was cold out the car wouldn't hook in 1st or 2nd gear. I had about 40 races at the drag strip on them, including a broken passenger side axle, grenaded differential.
If your buying these to save your rear end or to get good hooking tires that will last a little, don't buy nitto dr's. The sidewall is to stiff and you can easily break your rear end.I broke mine on the 12 pass on nittos. Alot of people buy these tires thinking they can get 15k out of them. Not a chance. Your better off buying some cheap rims and a set of et streets.
I thought some of you might want this info before the winter months are officially here and to save $320 on 275/40-17's
