Anyone tried any drag radials yet?

I was wondering about them. Also, would you need all four to be the drag radials or could you just buy two for the front and leave the dunlops on back?

2 for the front will be fine. Why would you need traction in the rear? When i get 19s on this bastard I will be putting at least 2 drags on 2 of them.

Speaking of 19s, I was thinking going that direction because even lowered the wheel well seems huge and empty. What do ya'll think?

Look into some M&H cheater slicks or their DOT tires.

We did run the 225/50/16 BFG G-Force from 2003- late 2004. They were good as we got a best of 1.88 60ft on them.

Now we have 235/60/15 M&H tires and we did about 6 passes on them but these are stickier than the BFG's.

The only reason I wouldn't get 19's is because of how much they will probably weigh.

That's what I figured. Although I'm 32 years old, I'm still relatively new to the racing scene so expect a silly question or two from me from time to time.

Is the bolt pattern the same, I thought the RL's were different?

Nope the L series has the same bolt pattern, im gonna grab some of those soon and use em for the track. An easy option for all of us! Look it up on tire rack, it is 5x110.
