Default Drag radials
How long do you guys run your drag radials after the tread is gone? TIA

Ive used both BFG and Nitto DR's. The BFG's lasted about 10k and the Nitto's lasted about 13k. That was with highway driving and track visits.

I think thats about the norm. I never killed mine at the track because of the fact that they were my street tires.
