You can compare the treadwear rating on the side walls of the two. Generally the lower the number the more sticky they are.

haha yeah not the biggest fan on the looks.....they dont look TOO bad....but traction is the more important issue at this point.....i've gotten BMR adjustable LCAs and relocation brackets.....I think ive determined its the tires because i hear everyone else talking about how quick the mustang is from a dig......but i cant find traction hardly anywhere

I think they look great. They're very agressive looking. And quite sticky. They suck at the track, like any street radial. But they're great on the street.

I do not think those are street radials? Unless they make that pattern both ways but if you are looking for a street radial tire look else where. I have seen a lot people use nittos radials.

Those are street radials, not drag radials.

But actually, the BFG drag radials very similar in pattern.

There look great actually, much more unique than other tires out there. They do grip extremely well on the street and the wet traction is great too..... I highly recommend them but you will want a second set of tires for winter.....after it gets cold they will get torn up fast and not get near the traction
