I spin way too much Need Some new Tires!!

[20stang01]

Hey guys i was just wondering if you had any opinions on what kind of drag radials/slicks to go with. I would also like to be able to use these tires as daily drivers. So If you can help id appreciate it.

I hear the Nitto 555 drag radials are the s--t. I have the 555 Extremes.
They are not drag radials but for the street they are awesome. Don't take
car to the track so don't need em'. Price was nice too. $145 a piece.

well if you are going to be running more street than strip get the nitto's, because they tend to last longer & are better in the rain. if you go to the track more than the strip, get the bfg's they seem to be a better strip than street tire, plus they wear quicker

Nitto 555 Radials..good choice

Nitto 555R's...Nuff said

 

[el_kid_1]

What about the BFG g-Force T/A Drag Radial? Are they any good? If I get them in 18" size, will they still help me lower my 60' times and improve my traction at the track?

 

[00Perf RedStang]

i know a guy runnin BFGs and he cant get no kind of traction

 

[mpcv2000]

I'm at my 2nd set of 555R and next set I buy will be the same thing again.

I like the traction and they last pretty good for sticky compund tires !

I currnetly have 18" roush wheels on the rear....what wheels will you recommend for the Nittos 555R? What tire size for maximun traction? Consider that they will be for track use only.

I run Nittos on the street on my 4r70w they are fabalous, I didn't spin even with my 4.10s

 

[neoclasiccl]

I couldnt take all the spinning anymore so I am getting a pair of Nitto 315/35/17 drags put on this wed. Had to order them from Ohio

 

[CottonBurnerz]

nitto on 18" are a bit expensive tho =\

 

[Dallasgt01]

Yeah they are...I have the Y2K Rs on my car and they get to be $$$$

 

[Slider]

Nitto does not make a dr for our cars in 18" as far as i know, however BFG does.

The guide to drag radials is simple:
Street/Strip = Nitto
Strip/Street = BFG

nitto's, if you burn through them quick, they don't cost as much to replace as the BFG's
