BF DR's
BF DR's I see BF make a few different types/styles of DR's..curious to know which are the best to run for more of around town/HWY driving. Just got some 16 inch SS wheels and they are in need of a nice set. Also the car does not get driven in the rain if that matters... Thanks!
Got ya. I guess what I need to know is what tread pattern is best to go with then? I've never really looked into tires so I'm kinda clueless as to whats a good gripping streetable DR..open for suggestions 
If you want a drag radial that has decent longevity, take a look at the Nitto 555R Drag Radials. Usually gets double the life of M/T and BFG and if heated up properly, actually stick pretty well. You may even want to consider heat cycling the tires. This will help prolong their life. Here's a link with our current prices.

I would suggest the mickeys then. I have about 1 season (6,000 miles) and about 30 track passes with decent burn-outs. There is probably another 5 passes left on them at this time. They stick very well, better than Nitto's I have run in the past.

M/T drag radial owns all the others. I embarrassed a cobra that had nittos last night. Well I nearly got hit, good thing I dead hooked and was gone, they went side ways.
I've got about 3k miles on mine, they still look new, Then again i never do burnouts on the street. I don't spin them for no reason, They always hook for me.

Lol I said the same thing to the guy I just bought them from. They are in fact a true Factory 16 inch SS wheel. They came off his 99 SS. My friend and I thought for sure he was wrong and that when we showed up they were gonna be 17''...he was right. They have Dunlop 245/50/16 tires on them right now.
I am very surprised no one has metioned the Hoosier drag radial.

If you don't drive the car in the rain then these will be the best drag radial you can buy. I have had all of them. The Hoosier lasts longer than the M/T and the BFG, and hooks AWESOME. And feel very solid at highway speeds. I cut 1.5 sixty foots on this drag radial in a 275 17, stock suspension.
Plus they come with the white "HOOSIER" lettering on the side.
