Price is great,but what will these tires do under my car with a 4000 rpm stall and nitrous to boot?
For another $150 a pair i might just stick with Nitto drag radials instead,but it is tempting to try them and see how they fair though.

That is dirt cheap for 17 in tires that are 11 in wide. I ran 315-40-17 goodyear eagle f-1's and they didnt hook that well at all.. Before that I had the nitto 555R in 255-45-16 and they hooked about the same as the goodyears.. Now im running 255 Mickey Thompson et streets I just bought a few weeks ago.. For the price they are awsome tires. they really hook too good for stock gears

Same here, those things are for roasting and they begin to harden after you get a few thousand miles on them

ive been using those for about a year and a half now. they are a very good expendable tire. if you burn one up it doesnt cost so much.

Those are probably great for drifting, since you don't want traction on the rear tires.
