Is this odd tire wear for drag radials?

THE 50 SERIES won't be as tall either, more so it'll be like a 26x10.50 size tire, it's close on mine maybe a 1/2 clearance max

ET changes with suspension, driver, traction, and some altitude changes.

Car A can run 12.4 @ 120 MPH.

Car B can run 10.9 @ 120 MPH.

Same driver and engine.

The suspension and traction gives you the elusion that you have the faster car.

Nope, same power, just you "stick." Anywhere from 20 MPH+ (for example), the cars will run neck and neck.

As for the Nitto's, on every pair I owned (3), I got roughly 11,000 miles out of them with semi-aggressive driving (daily).
