Yup, I run them at 295/35 -18 on the back of the Roush sometimes. Once hot, they stick well. And even on the street they do well for a DR (dry, rain, snow....)

I dont regonize those as being drag radials, but it says they are so ???. I used to have the comp t/a drag radials and just bought some new one's they call g force now, but they have the same tread pattern.. But both my old comp and the new g force had the slick part in the middle. My tires are not that big, only 275/50/15. Do you have a part # by chance, i'm curious.

OK, that is the same tire i just bought. The pic posted on summit is for a narrow tire. I just went out and measured the slick spot in the middle and with my size tires it is exactly 3.5 inches.

if they're cheap do it but i picked up .18 in my 60ft just switching to the mickey thompson e.t. drag radials. same size also. 275/50/15 car puts down mid 460's depending on bottle pressure. its a 5 spd and i leave around 5500. what worked best for me with the bfg's was a hella, HELLAsmokey burnout and 14-16psi.

I have hoosiers right now. I like them a lot. 26" tall w/ 3.73 gears. But for a benjamin, I can't pass them up. Talked to the guy today, gonna pick them up in a couple weeks. 275/60/15's. Steppin up to 4.30's. This should get interesting!!I ran a 28" tire w/ my 3.73's and lost a 1/2 secong on my e/t.

Bernie they don't hook like mickey thompsons. A guy I work with had them on his 04 w/ only 4.10's and had trouble hooking with them. Especially after a couple trips to the track.
