Guys I just blew out a tire today so I guess I get to upgrade now lol. Nice drive 55 on a flat tire good fun. Anyways I was reading different posts and seems that people saying the bf kdw are more sticky, I am looking for a good sticky tire. I had the nitto 555's on my old mustang and they were really nice tires but I want to know from who had both of these tires or some who had the kdw if there a good street/ strip tire. I barely drive this car, put maybe 300 miles on it this year so. Let hear some replies, Im excited to get these here and mounted up, hopefully launch a little better than the nitto extremes I have now.

Use drag radials, there's almost no reason not to with the mileage you drive.

I'd use the bfg drag radials, the new hoosiers or the MT drag radial.

The bfg's probably hold the best handling characteristics.
