My new race tires

Found out today that mickey thompson had to pull there line of ET Street drag radial tires due to the DOT wanting them retested for road worthyness. So what i did was buy a set of BF Goodrich g-Force T/A drag radials for this race season. They cost me more but i didn't want to wait to see if mickey passed or failed.

I purchase a set of those for my SRT-4. Very nice drag radial for the money.

I've always had good luck with BFG tires. The tires I have on my 7 right now are G-Force Sport and they are pretty nice for the money I spent on them. I got them in 205/45R16 and on the track they provided awsome grip for the power I am running. Have yet to see just how well they handle the curves, but I'm sure they will be just as impressive in that aspect.

These grip real hard. I have a set the same size for my Turbo SE and after a few launches the driver side rear lower trailing arm bent so bad I had to replace it. I ended up having the new trailing arms reinforced.

Try running 12 psi in them. That is what I run and I have no traction issues. Gets a little squirmy(loose) on the bottom end though but it pays off in the 60 ft range.
