Default The new Toyo Drag Radial

Any body running them? They should be softer than the nittos but the tread looks a bit deeper,

They are 10 bucks more a tire than the nittos ( From my local dealer )


Debating on trying them out

RA1 or R888? Both are great tire? I would get the RA1!

i love the r888's, but he's talking about the toyo proxes tq.
i was about to go with nitto 555r, but got the r888's and i couldn't be happier. with the r888 tires, i get a little spin if i mash the pedal, but if i'm rolling, i can floor it anywhere in 1st (bolt-on auto 3.23 with 3600 2.5 str stall) and hook. best thing is that it doesn't need a burnout to stick like this.
based on what i'm getting out of the r888's, i'd assume the proxes tq should break a lot of 10bolts.
