M/T street radial for Drag FD

Hi guys
I would like to run in drag racing with my FD in Street class . Here in Greece i can you only this type of tire .
My intension is to run 20+ psi of boost ( R-85 , Tec3r ...etc ) and i hope to see more than 400hp at the wheels .
With the stock rims and 255/50/16 for rear , its a good set-up for drag racing ?

I would only put them on when racing... don't expect them to last longer than 3K-4K miles. They are very very soft.

They just need a light burnout unlike the Nitto DR's that need to be heated up every run. Don't get caught in the rain with them on the car. Not safe.

They simply get harder right out of the mold. After a year for best performance it would be wise to replace them. I doubt they will last long for you LUPE .

You're right........ the older they get, the harder they get. I had some Nitto 555R's for 3 years. Plenty of tread left but they wouldn't hook up for ****
