Default Drag radials

I was wondering if anyone has opinions on drag radials? I have heard that the only 2 to get are either nitto 555r D/Rs or BF goodrich D/Rs. Have heard good and bad about both.

Im not overly concerend about tire life. 10-20k is more than enough. What i want is traction.

I was thinking nitto 555r regulars on the front, and D/Rs on the back. Would this be a good combo? I cant seem to find any online shops to buy the BFGs.

The BFG's I had were absolutely wicked. They hooked so hard I busted tranny mounts like you wouldn't believe.

I am assuming you got them from a local shop? Cant find one online parts store that sells them

What did ya run, DR in the back and regulars in the front. I was thinking of ordering the nittos, but not sure this is the way to go. Will I have any drivablilty problems with 2 different sets of tires (albiet both 555r) ?

I have BFG KDW's up front with the radials in back. There is no problems other than the rears will wear faster. I got them from a local shop but you can get them from summit or jegs.

The nittos suck dog *****. I haven't tried the BFG's but I've heard they're okay.

Personally I really like the M/T ET Streets. They're damn near as sticky as a drag slick.
