hey guys been shopping around for some drag radials and came across these. I was thinking nittos first, but then i saw these. Anyone ever run with them?

i haven't run these but from what i've been hearing they are a really sticky tire but suck for DD. nitto DR's usually last about 12-15K miles and have a treadwear of 100 where as these toyos' treadwear is 0

hm, yea i guess i should stick with the nittos then, thanks man

Yeah, i talked to a guy at Toyo (he refered me to somone else...don't remember who though) and he was going to do them for $170 a piece. Only problem for me was that he said they would not last nearly as long as the Nitto's. Otherwise i would have definantely got them!

and OP, you should check out the new NT05. a lot of people are saying that it hooks very well and also has a better tread rating(200) than the 555r's.
