Default BFG 275/40 17 Comp TA Drag Radials?

Anyone have some feedback for me on these? I found a pair that has a couple passes on them for $200. Would these work for me and my torque converter?

BFG DRs are pretty good. If your on a stock 10 bolt you may want to reconsider.

Oh, they'll work, but not for long because they like to wear quickly.

I'm at damn near 6000 ft, I won't cut anywhere near the 60fts you guys do So these will hook up pretty well? I have pics of them and they look damn near like normal tires treadwise, are they just super soft?

How quickly is quickly? I figure I can't even get normal tires for $200, so I might as well right?

I loved my last tires, even tho they only lasted about 3500 miles they sure did hook. I think my best 60ft on these tires was around a 1.8 at 15psi but i think that was the time i lost my motor. Its all good now, with a brand new motor!

Are you planning on running at the track one time with your barrowed brothers tires, or are you planning to atleast keep them for a little while? If you want to keep them id get them there great i think!

If you really want to hook up good. The new M/T DRs are really sticky. Some people claim to cut better 60s over the mt et streets

I've got the KDW G-Force on right now and for a street tire I was suprised how well they hook even in this cold weather. I can punch it in first and dead hook. I still prefer Nitto's but they are good tires.

That's a fact, I had those on my last TA for about 300 miles before someone decided to murder the car. They hook VERY well for a street tire, great price too!
