i can tell you BFG G-Force Drag Radials SUCK...tires had 14 miles on them when i left home last year and they were BALD less than halfway into the tour with NO burnouts or excess wheel spin...MT's MUST do better than that.

i thought about some bfg drag radials. i don't think the ones i had were the g-force or whatever, but they seemed to last forever and the car went 1.6x on them all day. i drove to st louis, evansville, cincinasty, etc on those tires.
i like the et streets better, but i'm not sure how they'll like the highway.

Why are you guys worried about running sticky tires? Just run street tires, it's not some big drag racing event. Chances are pretty good it's going to rain at least one of the days, and even though I've never ran drag tires I'm sure they can't be any fun in the rain.

i am not going to buy a set of street radials for my 15x10 rear wheels. i have a fairly new set of tires on the stock ws6 wheels, but bigs and littles will look so much better.
i'm just going to buy some mt et street drs. i've had those before, too, and i was very happy with how they performed.

Sean get some Nitto 555r's. I ran them on your old camaro and daily drove it on that and they were great. just fine for wet roads and long lasting, cause when they were cold they were hard like a normal summer tire but do a good long burnout and they are like a soft MT compound.

i hope so. i think i am going to get some nt05rs or m/t et street drs...for the stock wheels. this 99 car is killing me. i feel like i am starting a restoration project as well. i have to fix a bunch of goofy **** that has no bearing on the car's performance. lame.

Thanks! It gets better gas mileage than my Firebird did and is making probably an extra 150whp haha, hard to beat that! Not to mention how much nicer everything else is about it, always hated the way the Formula would push into corners. And JSB>>>>>>>>>>>black when it comes to keeping it clean, but if it never left the garage I would take a mirror-like black over any color.

Optima will be the Grand Finale Cruise Night Sponsor in Arlington and I'll be running the long haul. Find me at the Proving Grounds and grab my phone number, if you think you might have battery issues along the way.
