Nah! I put 12k miles on my last set of Nitto dr's! Nitto's have a pretty good tread life for a drag radial. If you had BFG or MT dr's then I would definately limit the number of street miles you put on them.

Good luck at the track!

Depends on the driver. Should be good for good mid to low 13's.... about about 100-102 (d/a matters here).

I drove my bfgs on the street... in an auto car with a 3500 stall so they didn't spin a whole lot. but they faired really well.

Hooking is only one aspect. Is this your first time?

Click to expand...

The whole point of DR's is that you can drive them on the street. Maybe people thought you had slicks.
