Code, 1 last question. I already have some Bfg G-force KDWs im going to put on the front, should i run bfg drag radials to match or should i go with the mickey thompsons and not worry about having matching fronts and rears?

The only thing you have to match up as far as drag radials go, is to make sure it's a radial and not a Bias ply tire. You cannot mix those with radial front tire and drive on the sreet. Not entirely safe...lol If you've got a stock engine, I doubt you'll have any troubles hooking up with 315's. You won't spin much, not saying you won't spin, but that's still a 12.6" tire to the ground compared to stock 9.6". 315's look friggin sick from the back too! I went with a 315 because I don't want a DR for handling and speed issues

Is your car a DD? The MTs are not a good choice for a DD tire, espcially one that will see rain.
If its a track only/nice weather only car that only sees a few thousand miles a year your fine, but if you drive it daily, put miles on it, and EVER see rain you do not want a MT. MTs would be suicide in teh rain, and they will not last very long, even compared to another drag radial.

To tell you the truth code, i dont even know what im putting down for numbers. Do you think that they will fit or should i just stick with 315 drag radials?
