Default Drag radials

I just read on a previous post that BFG drag radials are treacherous in the rain, with a safe top speed of 35 MPH, maybe this was an exageration but I need to know the truth about their wet road performance, I was about to order a pair.

yes they are by nature, no enough grip when road is wet, and hydroplaning is a big factor too.</P>

Absolute bull, I had them on a 250RWHP Iroc-z and they still hooked in the rain. <IMG src=smileys/smiley3.gif border="0"></P>

My buddy has the BFGOODRICH drag radials on his SVT and trust me you dont want to buy them. On a hot day they melt but they stick like glue, but get a drop of water and ure figure skating. Stay away from them if you can.

BFG Goodrich Comp TA's.</P>


Nitto's are horrid. I had BFG's on my Iroc-z and did plenty of highway driving, IN THE RAIN. Had no problems whatsoever. </P>
