i dont think the TREX is too spray friendly lol. and i'll be the first to tell you those drag radials will be useless. My tiny cam destroys the nitto's on the tiny 3500 stall.

ET streets or slicks man. Dont waste your time with nitto's unless you just want to smoke some tire on the streets and rack up some poinst with the man
