Default 60 foots on MT drag radials...

I'm looking at a set of P295/65/15 Mickey Thompson Drag Radials (the new ones).

Basically; The car has a TH400 (Standard gear ratios: 1st=2.48, 2nd=1.48 and 3rd=1.00) and a Ford 9-inch with a 4-link and 35 spline axles. 4.10's in the rear.

It should push around 650rwhp and weights 3250 lbs including driver.

Do you think it's possible to cut low 1.3's and high 1.2's consistantly (I do mostly ET bracket racing) on these tires? They are the equivalent of 30X12.5".

I'm looking for a tire that I can bolt on at home and drive to and from the strip on. How many miles can these last doing this?

The tracks I go to usually have fair track prep. Not big NHRA event VHT soaked prep, but pretty good.

I also heard they can be had for 140$/tire. Anybody know where they are available at that price? Thanks.

Im cutting 1.49's on them without traction issues. My dad has a 67 camaro thats making around 800 at the rear wheels and runs those tires. It puts it on the bumper almost everypass. I think his are around 1.30's.
