Default Anyone Spraying on 275/40R17 drag radials?

Just wondering. I tried this weekend and it hooked good if I didn't hit the nitrous till about 40-50 ft out, but If I gassed it out of the hole the tires were done.

Any ideas?

Most radials are stiff walled so the shock from a 100+ shot this will happen since there isnt enough sidewall to take the shock, this on the street or track? Most guys around here wait to click second before the grab the button unless there running slicks and a progressive...We got a guy here that will pull the tires waist high on a 200 pill with a lil vht...its sick!

MT's I have them on 3 other cars as well with no issues. Just never tried spraying an F body out of the hole
