Question How many drag radials?

This might be a dumb question, but I've never owned drag radials before and I'm going to be getting some in the near future...probably next spring. But my question is...do I just get 2 for the rear and get other tires for the front or would drag radials be good for all 4? Thanks.

All you need is there rear two. Front tires can be any of your choice.

very poorly because of more sidewall flex. Nitto is comming out with a 555-RII which is a roadcourse tire with very good sidewall rigidity and good traction. that would be good for cornering.
