im not sure but from your signature you have heads, cam, and nitrous? i think you might get more traction from a bicycle tire. those just don't look very sticky to me.

I'm guessing you wanted the new tread design instead this one. I believe you can only get that in the 18inch(New T)
They grip just as good. Same to my knowledge. I have used the ones you got with no problem. You'll be fine.

Thanks guys. Yea I wanted the other design. I guess we'll see how they are. They are still a drag radial so they should do alright. Im not looking to dead hook. I already spent $1000 fixing my rear and tranny so i dont want that again.

They'll do just fine. What size did you buy?
Plenty of people have used the BFG drag radial on head an cammed cars with a s/c, nitrious or a turbo and been fine.

Thats the old tread design (series 1) that tons of guys have gone 8s and 9s on in the 275/60/15 when those first came out. Its the same rubber compound as the series 2 newer pattern ones, they just look different.
