Anybody running BF Goodrich Drag tires, on a Turbo FB
Hey Guys,
I just got my 85 GSL-SE TII back up and running after having the motor rebuilt and several other things done. I am running 225/15 BF Goodrich drag radials. Seems like my rear is floating under full throttle and won't track straight.
Whats your experience with these tires?
I am running the tires and 40psi, 44 is max and making a least 300rwhp.

You get used to it. BTW - too much PSI, and you wont grip as well either.
I also found out that my Idler Arm Assemby was bad, and replacing it
helped the car track muuuuch straighter.

I ran a set two years ago. 205/50/15. **** drove them on the street for the summer as well they were the drag radials though. Sounds like your running straight slicks. I concur you are running too much air pressure.

Found the problem. Seems these tires bite real well. I bent the **** out of the rear lower suspension link on the passenger side.
Replaced the link and took the drag radials off for now. Installed tokico 5 ways and set on 5. Robert at the Rotary Shack is going to make some reinforced links as well. Once I have those the drag radials will go back on.
Anyone else have this issue?
