Default Need some info on Drag Radials.

I have snowflakes first off. Can I put 275's on them?

Who makes a good DR for the rear, I have been looking at the KDW2's but now I have heard not so good stuff? The car gets maybe 9k miles a year at the most. So I'm just going to leave DR's on the back. Any suggestions?

I would go w/ MT ET Street radial's.I have run them on my last 3 SS's for 4 yr's now and have about 6,000 miles on them and been to the track about 15 times and still plenty of thread left on them.

I would only put a 255 max on them....
Since you don't drive much M/Ts grip the best but you will only see 3-5k out of them if you are lucky.

I would go with the BFGs....

I personally have Nittos and I dead hook on the street with them. But I'm an auto so that may be why
