Default Drag Radial help!

Im lookin into getting the AR torq-thrust II's. I wanna slap on some DR's in the rear. What are the specs on the tires i need to get for the 17x11? And what is the difference between MT Streets and the MT radials? What is the best DR you all recommend, i.e. Nitto, MT, or BFGoodrich? Thanks for the help... I want to be able to launch...

all ur questions depend on ur goals for the tires. the best DR may not be the best tire for u.

Well MT et streets are realy sticky but They wear out quick. I have the BFG Drag radials and love them. Would not recomend any Drag radial for wet weather driving. Worse than driving on Ice. just my .02

Most tire life and decent grip=Nitto
Best grip but hardly any life=M/t et street drag radials

ET Streets are like running a full slick, no traction in wet weather, no grooves.

ET street drag radials actually have tread but also offer no wet traction

Mickey Thompson e.t radials have my vote. They aren't too bad for wet driving. If you go to the track a lot you may get 3000 to 5000 miles out of a set.
