Hi guys, anybody know of any other 18" drag radials besides the BFG's?

I'm running 18" C5 Z06's out back and I'm due for new tires.... one's that will actually hook. I've got the original Goodyear Eagle F1Supercars out back that are gettin pretty bald.

I've managed to squeeze out a few 2.1 60' which is no better than the cheap Kumho Ecsta's I had on my stock 16" Trans Am wheels, so I know I'm gonna need a drag radial as long as I keep the Z06's on back.

I know I'm SOL for Mickey Thompson or Hoosier, and I know I could be faster on a smaller, lighter wheel but I'm gonna keep the wheels I have.

I've got nothing against BFGoodrich, I'm just looking for more selection. Any help would be appreciated, my size is 295 35 18

Nitto makes a 305/35/18 Drag Radial Mickey Thompson has 18" DR's now. New lineup they just brought out, but wont be very good for street use. Worse then the bfg's.

You probably aren't hooking because you have nothing for a sidewall.

If your looking for exceptional streetability and longevity i'd recommend Nitto 555R's. I had them on my old '93 Z28 in 305/40-18 on a set of 18x10.5" Z06's and they lasted a pretty long time. Didn't hook too well though compared to the old 275/40 M/T & 17" wheel combo.

if ur going to be planting more than 350t/q to the tires dont get nittos they suck ......

I had them on my last car...635rwhp...they weren't as good as the M/T's, but they sure beat a stock radial! I don't believe us 18" rim guys had any other options up until now.

One of my buddies, he posts on here as LS1x2, picked up a set for his s/c 02 Z06, I thought 315s were expensive for my 17s, his tires are damn near 600 for a pair.
