Drag Racing Tech - Best drag radial to drive 100miles and then make 8 second passes?

Just like the title says, what drag radial can be driven 100 miles to a track at 70-75mph and then run 8 second passes at the track and drive home.

TIA!

Mickey Thompson or Hoosier should get the Job done. We run them on our outlaw car and on our street cars. I personally like the Mickeys but thats just an opinion.
We run 275/60/15 and 315/60/15

My buddy and his 555 BBC Nova 295/65/15 MT DR's

How many times do you want to make that trip, Hoosiers tend to not have near the life of the M/Ts.

Swap tires at the track. Or get a trailer.

mickey thompson drag radial. what size tire are you wanting to run?

The new Mickey or Hoosier will wear out so fast driving 100 miles it's not even funny.

I would use the old mickey thompson 3574 part number and don't even think about the new one (3574X) or the Hoosier unless you really don't care.

Since the older Mickey T isn't quite as good as the Hoosier 275/60 and new Mickey T 275/60 you will be giving up some, but there have been plenty of people 60' in the 1.1x and 1.2x all day with the old 275/60 Mickey T's.

I would get a 275/60 or 295/55. Are you running 15" wheels?

If you are just making the trip for a certain class, Hoosiers hands down.

If not for a class race I would just trailer the car or swap tires when I get there.

I just tried 325 Hoosiers with same setup I've been running m/t 325s on and that bitch wouldn't hook in a giant rat glue trap! I'll never do the Hoosiers again as long as mickeys workn

MT's last longer and hook better. Need I say more?

I think Randy Seward drove 1700 miles from New Mexico to Florida to win True Street while on 325 radials. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3QCQa29YJ0

Look him up there is a huge thread on Yellowbullet about his entire trip there and back.

Get a trailer. Getting towed home gets expensive.

Aaa ftw...

I plan on driving my car bout 80 miles round trip with 800 rwhp and not going to trailer it or swap tires I'm using Hoosier 17317 tires lol.

Just doin this so I can say I can drive 100 miles, run 8's and drive home.

I am leaning towards the 325 M/T's. I am surprised nobody has suggested the M&H's.

If you can fit it the 315/60 will offer more bite. They have nearly identical section widths but roll out is a lot different with the taller tire.

More sidewall for the win.
