Im selling my nitto drag radials cause my car is no longer a daily. Im looking into buying some stickier tires. Ive got it down to either a 28x11.5 hoosier quicktime pro or 275/60-15 m/t radial. the car will still be driven on the street but mostly weekend cruise so its mainly a drag car. Now what i want in comparison is treadlife, street manors and track performance.

*I've never used the Hoosiers, but I have been using the 275/60/15 M/T drag radials. I cut 1.37 60's on them with a bolt-on 150 shot car. It's been 10.43 so far. However, the M/T DR's are actually a softer compound than their slicks, so they don't last too long.

I really like my qtp's. But since you will be doing alot of street driving I'd rather have the MT drag radials. Or why not the hoosier drag radial? I hear they are good also.

I have actually heard that the hoosier drag radials have less life then the qtps. I have also heard that the m/t radials have a softer compund then the et drags thus shorter life.

They do, and they do. The m/t radials are softer than a slick. But you don't need to go John Force on them every time you warm them up. Just get the water off and go.

Aw, John Force burnouts are the best! LOL. If it weren't for John Force burnouts I would give up drag racing. LOL.

i think part of it depends on what kind of setup you have. mt dr's are apparently a lil finicky with a manual trans car but will out 60 slicks on an a3/4 car.

I have heard the MT drag radials dont hook as well on the street. i know they hook damn good on the track so if you plan on street racing just something to think about.

i was screwing around one day after work and my buddy called me cause he was behind me... anyway i was like watch this (we were at a red light) i was gonna spin the tires through first.... that didnt happen i went from 3k on the street and dead hooked and it put my head back in the seat cause i wasnt expecting it

btw ive had my drs for almost a year now. 15 passes and a few thousand miles and they still have about 70% tread left

this is the car they are going on. this is with a 275/60-15 nitto dr. I do street race occasionaly(ok maybe alot) but its always on back roads and the street has been prepped.

If you run an auto I would go with the drag radial, if you have a stick car I would run the Hoosier QTP.

I have a stick car and the hoosier is what I am going with.

I have friends that run the drag radial class from 7 sec on the 315 60 15, 8 sec on the 275 60 15 and a couple buddies that use them on street cars, either one is a great tire.

its an auto car. th-350 w/ 4.11's.

i think thats a myth about the autos using drs and sticks using slicks....

i have a m6 and use the drs. plus youll get more mph out of a radial then a slick providing they hit equal 60's

i used a slick b4 and hated it, thats why i went to a radial...and actually cut better 60' and trap from the radial then the slick

My best friend had a 70 nova that he street raced and he used a 275/60/15 MT DR and he would dead hook on un prepped roads. On my t/a i run the 275/50/15 mt dr and when they were new they would just about dead hook.
