Try the new M/t drag radials-They hook great on the street and at the track.

Is your car an M6 or auto?

All but two of the cars that made the radial tire class at the World Street Nationals this year were running the M/T radials.

from what ive heard/read, m/t radials have the best dry traction, but they wear out pretty quickly and are worse in the rain than other dr's. if its just for having fun on the street and not an everyday tire, m/t's are probably the best choice.

If for only dry weather... M/T radials will hard to beat.

If you might see any wet weather.. go for Nitto's.

I've had both bfg dr's and the new mickey's the mickey's hook and wear better, the bfg's work better in the wet.

BigPlanTransAm

they used to say that about bfg's and nittos but as long as youre not driving like a nut the bfg's were fine.
but... the M/T's have waay less tread than the bfg's so it would probably be wise to heed that remark.

the m/t's wear better than the bfg's? damn, i went with the bfg's because i was told the m/t's wear out really fast due to the soft compound

BigPlanTransAm

yep, theyre called anythingthatsnotaslick.

Any one of the popular drag radials.

Nitto drag radials are the best in rain compared to all other drag radials. BFG's are bad, and the new Mickey Thompsons are worse.
Bottom line is you have to be careful with all drag radials seeing the tread depth is where the problem is channeling rain water.

Any reason why you wouldn't use an ET Street of QTP? You'll get some flak about having a tire on the car, but everyone's gotta bitch about something...might as well be the shoes you're wearing.

Also, what is this "street racing" you speak of?

T6Rocket

I saw a set of the M/T's in person, and they have the same 5/32" tread depth as the BFG's. Unless you are referring to the old style 325/50-15 BFG's which had 8/32" tread.

Definately softer though! Cant wait to try a set!

they may have the same depth but theres 2 or 3 whole sections witht no tread at all. just 2 strips in the middle and some on the outside

boosted03cobra

MT or BFGs are the best tires. those are the only two tires i use on my drag wheels

T6Rocket

Yeah, that's what I like about them! More contact patch! A dry weather tire, but then again, who drag races on wet roads?

Well i can tell you that the new mickey does not like wet roads at all. I was coming home from the track and got caught in the rain, with 4 people in the car. We were doing about 50 mph in a 65 when all of a sudden ,for no reason at all the car broke dead sideways and my lights were shining on the van beside me!. The van went off in the grass and was all over the road and got it back under control. I had my wife and the wives of 2 friends of mine with me. They were in front of us, on nittos and had no problems. We talked to the people in the van... they stopped at the same store to catch our breath. They stopped to get some beer, it shook them up pretty good. So do not ride them in the rain!!!
