255 MT drag radials? But to answer your question i would think the BFG 235s would outperform a normal 275 radial by a pretty decent margin.

Why not 275x60 or 275x50 size in DR?

Max size DR allowed is 235.

Use the MT radial

If Both Are 60 Series Tires Then 275 "should" Be Better Because Of A Wider Contact To The Ground Then The 235, But The 275 Are Taller And May Hurt Top End,it All Depends On Your Combo.
I Personally Will Be Getting The 235/60/15 M/t Dr's, Its Better Suited For My Combo And Stock Wheels.

:biggrin: GEEZ I JUST NOTICED ITS RADIAL VS DRAG RADIAL,SO I WOULD THINK THE DR'S WOULD STILL HOOK MORE.

Drag Radial hands down

I run the M/T DR 235 and they hook great. Regular radials have no chance in this comparison.

Dr's. The new MT hook great.

A "taller" tire should improve top end, if by "taller" you mean physically taller, as in a larger diameter.

Ive got BFG 235's drag radials and they work good for me on street and strip. I personally dont like taller tires. Also check out the Nitto 255 Drag radial is also nice. Regular radials dont cut it if you want traction on the street and like to play.

I love the 275/60 Nittos on my car. I did have to roll the lips but the highway gearing is a tad better and they grip like crazy. The 275/50 also looks pretty badass though...but will probably also require a lip roll.
