Both of my strictly street driven (I own no trailer/no tow vehicle) cars are in fact on drag radials at this very moment.

Every day I'm not out of town working. They last roughly 3 months with all the weekend street racing thrown in.

I was on drag radials and skinnies for roughly 3-4 years straight on my Z28 back in the day, now I only put skinnies on as needed.

Cheaper to buy tires than to spin out and wreck because of no traction with street tires IMO

lol pretty much sums it up... I hit the gas on the highway on street tires and all of a sudden I was taking up three lanes. After that its drag radials all the time, much safer!

I don't daily drive my car but it sees about 3,000 miles a year, and I'll never go back to street tires. Once you get used to being able to dead hook anytime it's hard to give that up. Of course I can get by with Nitto drags since I'm not making retarded power, if I had to get Mickeys it would suck.
