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

Never know when you need to run. Have to be prepared.

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.
