Looks like a nice alternative to the ever elusive Mickey Thompson DOT Drag Radials that are again postponed till end of Sept at Summit.

Jegs had a bunch of sizes also, sounds like Tread 1 is the upgraded design over the old, thread chunker 2's.

Let us know how they work, if you get them. I have had excellent results with the old design, low 1.6's 60ft's but they don't last long at all. The new ones look like they might wear better but we have to know how they 60ft.

Is anyone out there running the 325/50/15 drag radial on their Buick?

If so, what wheel size & backspacing?

How is the fender & frame clearance?


I need to order a set of drag radials ASAP.

Wow, this thread was started almost a year ago

These are still pretty cheap but the MT are now in stock everywhere and are grabbing like mad over everything else on the market.

In order to get the 325/50 to look like it fits in your wheel well you will need to roll the lip and notch the frame atleast an inch.

Otherwise the 325/50 will stick out due to the GN maxing out at 4.5" backspacing on a 10" rim. And with that backspacing the 325/50 at 13" of section width will be rubbing the frame big time. Spacer heaven right there.

I have so many other issues with the GN right now that I can not afford to put these on.

I ordered a set of 325/50/15 MT Drag Radials & Centerline Warrior 15x10 w/5" backspacing rear wheels today.

I will post my results once they are on the car.

Note: I've already notched the frame and cut the fender lip.
