Who makes the best drag radial? for the price, durbility, and traction on wet and dry pavement.





thanks
 
I like the Nittos. Do they hook as well as slicks? No...But they do put alot more power to the ground then regular radials.


I used to spin the tires from a roll when I stomped on it from 30 with regular radials. Now I only get wheel a few revolutions of wheel spin to clean off the tread and heat the tire up a bit with the Nittos after that initial spin they hook up!

They also look very nice as well as handle well in the rain!
 
You will get a lot of personal preference responses on this one, so here's mine :D . I have used both a couple times at the drag strip. Learning how to launch helped out a lot ;) . On little 235 BFG DRs and all stock suspension except air bags, my T cut a 1.71 60' with a 5 lb launch. Just an easy no smoke tire clean off burnout also. So I do prefer BFG over the Nitto. The Nittos will last longer on the street.
 
Nittos might be a sharper looking tire and might last a little longer
but there is absolutely no way a Nitto DR will hook as good as a
BFG DR will. I've seen many cars go 8's on BFG DR's, I myself have gone low 9's with 1.43 60ft times on BFG's. I've never seen a nitto
come close. Good luck
