Default Anyone running the g force drag radial?

I was looking at some drag radials and saw these. I think they are new. The tread pattern is sick.

I did a search but only found threads about the older style. Thanks for any input.

I run them on my Cobra. They don't hook like a MT or Hoosier tire would, but I love the tread pattern.

Do you corner with them at all? How many miles did you get out of them?

D/D or track use?

I take some fun corners and off ramps with them, that's about it. Never been on a road course or anything with them. I just put them on the car a few weeks ago, so milage out of a set is TBA, but I've heard they don't last long. They don't come with much tread from the start. I don't drive the car much, so they should last me a while.

As you can see, they come with minimal tread from the start. I still love them though.

I had these tires on my TT 408 GTO and I liked them a lot. I think I got 8k out of them but I was not being hard on them at all

I found out they don't make that tread pattern in a 275/40/17. So I would have to get the TT tread version which looks like the older style.

I want those in 325/50/15s but Im afraid its the old pattern. I have the Gforce tire like that up front but want a DR to match for the street use and car shows!

It is the old pattern. If you go to the link in the first post and go to specs it lists the tread pattern. For that tire it's the TT which is the old design.

I have the older tread design on an extra set of wheels, and with some heat, they hook well at my power level.
