Goodyear dot drag radials..... Anyone seen the new Goodyear Eagle SS dot drag radials? Check out the Goodyear website. Dunlop also is coming out w/a dot drag radial tire that is shown on the Goodyear site. Here come the tire wars again.... BFG, Nitto, M/T, Goodyear, Dunlop....Who's next w/a drag radial? How about M&H and Hoosier??

Nice array of sizes, widths and diameters on the Goodyears. Like you said, the Dunlops look to be geared more for the rice... Will bet Goodyear will hit the right compounds and they'll be giving the M/T ET Street radials a run for their $, or even out perform them. Too bad it took Goodyear so long to develop this tire, although later is better than never..... WJ

I'm sure some of the NHRA E.F.I. stocker class cars tried them out at the last 2 National events of the season. Watch for articles about them on NHRA.com and in National Dragster. My friend owns a Goodyear franchise tire and repair store here in central Ma. I'll try to see if he can come up w/price sheet for the Eagle SS's.... WJ

Just saw the Goodyears at PRI. They look a bit like the M/T, can't take picts at PRI and I didn't see any pricing info.
Edit: Pricing looks to be $185.XX with the 275 40 17 avil. 1st quarter next year.

We talked to them for a good 1/2 hour about them.

All these different choices for drag radials and I still will have to go with the M&H series. They are the only ones that make a 28in. tall 17in drag radial that I know of.
