Anyone try these out yet? I really like the idea of a GOOD sticky radial tire since I have to drive 30+ miles to any track.

I will be using either the 275/60/15 or 325/50/15 if I can fit them.

How do these compare to ET Streets or ET Drags? I especially value feedback from someone who has used the radials and also the bias ply tires for a true comparison.

I make 476 RWHP and 521 RWTQ do you think I can hook with the radials?

 

From what I've read on these I think you'll hook, although your making a ton of TQ! I believe you want to run 12 psi at the strip. I just bought the 255/50/16s and I can't wait for the snow to melt so I can start melting pavement with the MT DRs!

 

They hook great!

My best 60' on ET streets was a 1.58
First time out with the M/T DRs I got a 1.56

Another advantage with the DRs is that you don't get the top end sway like you do with the bias ply tires.

I've heard of cars running 9s and 10s with 1.3 60' times on them so on a decently prepped track I bet they'd hook for you.

 

Do they come in 15, 16 and 17"?

 

Like I posted on the 'other' board
I muched prefer them over the ET streets, I find the radials hook a little better, require a much shorter burnout, and consistently trap higher then the et streets.

I've not needed to go below 16psi warm, great tires.

 

I met John Cunningham at my chassis place. John had a Nova in the Hot Rod Pump Gas Drags last year, went low 9's on motor.

He told me that the MT DR's worked better than the ET Streets for him. He tried them back to back.

 

Oh, and I got a set of the MT DR 275-60-15's to use for the street and storing the car. If they work nice I might get some taller ones and clearance the car for them.

 

Look at the pic below and then tell me if they hook.

 

1.51 60ft with the 235/60r15's on leaf springs with a S-10, I guess you could say they hook.

 

Sorry, Of topic... but what mufflers are on that car that is off the ground? LOL Id like to get some.

 

I use the 16" MT DR's and they hook every time 16psi=1.6's 60'. That at Moroso which sucks for track prep.. Also I drive there 70miles each way 23psi street.

 

heres my friends daily driver. 275/50/15

 

I was looking at getting a set of these tires, I've heard nothing but good things about them on street/strip cars. Your setup sounds a little hot for those DR's, you may be able to hook, but the torque will likely make you spin... Let us know what you choose, and how your decision works out!

 

I Love mine..1.6x 60' all day long...better than my et streets

 

 

Has anyone tried the 275/40-17s? That doesn't sound like much sidewall to work with. I have a set of 28x10x16 Hoosier slicks, but they're a little too tall.

 

A local friend has them on her FireHawk. She has a cam only with every bolt-on and a SS4000 stall. She has cut 1.58's with them so far. I believe the only suspension mod was lower control arms. They seem to hold her 400+ hp fine.

 

I have been using the BFGs for a while now and I have not had a problem with them. However, I may require a stickier tire in the future. Can anyone tell me how the M/T DRs stack up against the BFGs?

 

Are they still available in the 17's? I thought they were taken off the market because they had problems with them, but I heard yesterday that they are selling 17's still.

 

Ehhh I guess they hook alright
