Default Hope to have a set of M/T Drag Radials at NvsS

One of our members can get me a set of the 275-60-15's so I'll try to them in time for NvsS so we can try them on my car or any other car that makes sense...

If they come in time will we do some testing, and compare them to slicks or other drag radials.

I'd be more than happy to try them out.. We can back/back them against 315/60 BFG's..

Do you have 7.5" backspaced 10" wheels?

I'll bring my BFG 275/60's along with me. I'll launch the turbo car off a two-step on both of them and see which one hooks (or spins the least).

Do you really think your car is gonna hook on anything less than an all out slick??

I also have a brand new set of 28x10.5 ET Drags on another set of rims.

I'd like to compare these M/T's to similar size tires, Mongoose maybe we can compare to your bfg's if they are not too toasted.
