anyone dd w/ bigs/littles?
Just curious if anyone truly dd's with a 15" drag setup but with normal radial street tires. My car is not quick and i love the looks of drag setup but i dd the car and would want a tire that could least a while. Anyone do this? Maybe a 15x8-10 and 15x5-6? I know they make tires that small for your small cars.

I daily drove my Z28 with 555r's out back and whatever the 165 tire is people run on the 3.5 or 4.5" wide front draglites(ran me $230 installed for the pair), sometimes I wouldn't feel like changing wheels after the track for awhile. Car had no problem driving with that setup, I do like to corner though so I would only drive around like that for 2-4 weeks at a time.

http://www.walmart.com/ip/Nexen-11766NXC/19473481 The front skinnies are cheap and will last longer then any drag type tire you put on the rear. I drove my car on big and littles for a few months and it handled good enough to drive around everywhere I needed to at the speed limit. I took it on few 2 - 4 hour trips and it was fine. It gets pretty sketchy when it rains with ET streets and skinnies though.

just finally swapped to some 18's with street tires, but ran with the setup in my sig for about a year and a half. drove it to work every day, down the interstate, etc. do not expect to be able to drive in the rain. When my tires were new I could not go over 45mph safely on wet roads. Having huge tires in the back and tiny tires in the rear will make the car a nightmare in the rain regardless of tread design. Hence why i finally went with a square setup lol

driving my car on darkstar combo 17x4.5 fronts snd 15x10 rears with et street radials and hoosier pro street radials up front also with no front swaybar and it drives great, just dont try to go fast around corners like everyone else said and very hard stops could get sketchy also on front skinnies(so ive been told atleast)
