which drag radials? slicks?
well, i bought a extra pair of FD wheels and am in the market for some drag radials. i cant make up my mind between the BFG's and the nittos. i got jeg's catelog the other day and was checking out my options. which should i go with: BFG 255/50r16 or the nitto 555R 245/50r16. also, what about slicks? what is the most common tire size to use? my car is not with me so i cant go out and measure my diameter.
i have tokico illuminas and eibachs so i think the size might be an issue. does anyone have experience with a similar set up and can tell me if the tires will rub?
also, if someone knows where a better price on them can be found, i'd appreciate it

i purchased my BFG drags 255/50/16 for about 126 each. I believe they are cheaper then the nittos and they are much better/stickier drag radials. Of course i think the nittos last a lil bit longer.

I cruise on the street with my BFGs. Of course i dont go too far. i got my yokohama advans for that but i find i have no traction with them in anything lower then mid 3rd gear on low boost. i remeber on a cold day i broke the tires loose at about 90 in 4th gear.
