Oops I am on my phone and read it wrong from what I have heard the ones with the full tread are good but the ones with the smooth center sections suck.

I'm dying to know how these hold up.

I'd rather buy these than the MT's.

So pretty much the ones for 18" wheels suck and the ones with a normal looking tread pattern work well???

The funky design are way better from what I've heard and seen than the ones that look like their radial T/A tread. The other ones don't even look like drag radials. There's even a pic of a 5.0 doing a wheelstand on the funky tread ones floating around

it depends on how much track time they see. Burn out boxes are highly detrimental to tire life....LOL

But seriously with a set of Drag Radials don't last anywhere near as long as a set of street tires. With a 00 treadwear rating they will most likely see about the same amount of miles as the BFGs and Mickey Ts

Don't expect more than a summer out of any drag radial with a 00 treadwear unless you just don't beat on your car. But why would you buy that kind of a tire if you don't drive the car like it should with a tire like that? As far as I'm concerned I'm happy with my 555R's getting 10k plus out of them and still having fun...

My buddy went a whole trip to ocean city for cruise weekend in his 700rwhp single turbo'd GT last years on a set of ET Streets and they still have the nipples on the tires after the whole weekend. lol so as long as you dont beat the tar out of the car and arent launching it all the time, it will help your mileage cause.
