Question 17" Drag Radial ?'s please help

have a cam only 02 ss with a healthy wet shot and will see heads later. its driven on the street a decent amount but isnt my DD anymore.

does m/t make a et street non radial to fit a 315????????????????????????

ive been looking into drag radials cause i cant afford a full set of drag wheel.

ill need the 315-35-17

which ones do you think my setup would perform good with? ive been looking into the Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials and the ET Streets as well as the BFG.

which ones have you guys had that have worked well for you all?

My 315 bfg's are useless with my stock motor. Maybe some more suspension pieces would help, but they will not be replaced with bfg's again.

Buy a set of 15's with a drag radial in the back and skinnys in the front, 17" drag radials suck, compare what people run on a 17" drag radial to a 15" drag radial it's a joke when you consider the two.

Drag tires are not designed to have a low profile, having the extra sidewall helps absorb the shock of the launch so if you want to launch it hard and race it do it with a tire/rim combo that is made to race on to start with.

Yes, 15" is what I had to do for a good launch and timeslip.

moneys just tighttttttttttttttttttttt right now so i was considring trying a drag radial but i may save my money up and buy some 15's.

i really want some bogarts but damn they are pricy im starting to look into the draglites cause they look decent, are light, & resale pretty good too considering the double bolt pattern.
