BF Goodrich Drag Radials

Are these good, or not for an FD.?

What tires do you guys recommend.? My car is going to the track this weekened and just wandering. I don't want slicks. But a good street slicks will be fine.

They work great, a lot of FD owners use them. 255/50 16 is the size for the rears you want. They are a strictly drag tire, not for street driving.

rynberg,
that's the tires that I was thinking about getting. 255/50 16 Comp T/A Drag Radial. I was hoping they have it in the g-force though.

I am aware that these tires are worn out fairly quickly..

But I don't even drive my FD that much, so I wouldn't think it matters.

thanks

They work fine on the street but if it is wet, watch out.

I will be driving these tires dirt bald on the street when it is wet or dry. I'm not too concern about the rain, because I'll just DRIFT....

if i were u and looking to run these tires on the street i'd buy the nitto drag radials they will run 12-17k miles the bfg's will last 3-5k, the bfg's grip a little bit better but the nitto's are better imo.
