c2see21 said:i regret ever buying dr's. as soon as i either, a) burn them off, or b) sell them, i'm getting slicks for when i go to the track. & i'll just get regular tires for the street
reeber said:I just don't want to deal with the hassle of changing rims every time I run the car... You know??
c2see21 said:IMO, it's worth the hassle. how often are you at the track anyways? if you are dead set on dr's & dont' have to have 17's get the new MT dr's, the hook like crazy. if you have to have 17's then the bfg's for sure
reeber said:I will probably only hit the track about 3 times before it gets too cold, but I still want a tire that hooks really good on the street.. I am using my 17's, so I guess the BFG's are the way to go? Are they a good soft compound as opposed to my plastic Kumho 712's? I spun before the supercharger was installed... Best 60' time was 2.08 and I was told that it was really good for those tires.
c2see21 said:if it were me i wouldn't buy them this year. due to the headache you are going to have to deal with in the NE winter, especially for only 3 trips to the track.
nittos = hooks great on the street, toss up on the track, with decent tread wear
bfg's = hooks great at the track, wears down fast on the street
mt's = about the same as the bfg's discription
it's your call man
reeber said:Good point, but i still have a good month and a half of decent weather. I think I'll go with the BFG's, but have no idea where to purchase them and no clue on the correct size tire with my 17 x 8 wheels. Any ideas guys?

reeber said:What kind of 1/4 mile times and 60's are you pulling?
