What are you runnin, BFG Drag Radial?

Id check discount tire and tire rack but those seem to obvious im sure you've already checked them.

If you cant find them you could always go to like your local NTB/Big O/ King Tires/ or Discount tire and tell them what you want and to find you one, I bet they could locate you one.

Yes, I'm running the 315/30/18 drag radial BFG. I tried the big names, but it appears that some of the drag radial production from BFG is being suspended until they move their plant.

Mickey Thompson makes a 305/35R18 Street Radial.

Might have better luck finding those.

Sounds like he was just trying to offer you a suggestion...Lots of folks on here are kids who think that a wide 18" DR will hook better than a 255 50 R16 on stockers...I really didn't see the need to jump down his throat...this is supposed to be a fun hobby...Good luck with your search...

I agree it might have been a little harsh and I usually don't ever pop off, but his response just gave nothing to my post. Yes, I agree this should always be a fun sport

The mickey thompson looks like a great street radial, but I don't like the OD (26.39"). I got the front and the rear almost matching with the 315/30/18 BFG drag (25.50)

If you want them now have you considered the 555R.
The 285/35/18 is a 25.91 overall diameter.

I think that was the closest to your OD unless you felt like running a 335.

But im guessing you have 18x10.5s

The rim measure out to 11" bead to bead. I just don't think the Nitto's bite as hard as the BFG 315, JMO. I had nitto's before and they worked well, but this newer BFG drag hooks about as hard as anything I have ever seen on the street.

Just showing you what they look like, incase you never seen them before.

*Sorry, just realized you were only looking for one... meaning you've already been rolling around on these mean bitches.*

Just poking fun at your plight... I've been there before! Hope you can find one.
