New Drag Radial Question
Ok i just bought 2 new 255/50/16 bfg g force ta drag radials. I was wondering how everyone is launching on these, technique wise... should i get them nice and hott... what kind of tire pressure, also what kind of rpms launching. I guess my last question is, are these good tires?

I run mine with 15-18psi and get them nice and hot. I cut 1.65 60ft's with mods in sig.
The downside:
I run mine on the street and at the track 3 - 4 times per year. Maybe 3000 street miles and the track runs and mine are bald.

i dynoed 385 horse and 375 torque on a mustang dyno, so my horse number should be similar to yours, i see your an a4 though, any thoughts on what kinda rpms to launch at?

Get them really hot ,air them down to at least 15psi,12psi very minimum,tires are ok but I like Mickey Thompson drag radials a lot better(owned BFG,Nitto and Mickey Thompson drag radials). With the M6 dont launch at high rpms the tires will not grip,it is better to slip the clutch from 4000 rpm.

I am an auto and run them. I lower the psi to 21lbs drive to the tree and nail it. I have no spin with the stock stall. We will see what happens after my new Edge converter is installed this weekend.
