Ok I dunno if this is a stupid question or not so I'm just gunna ask....if i wanted new tires for better traction (some drag radials) couldn't I just replace my two rear tires? I know its the cheap way to do it but couldn't this work? Sorry if that question is retarded lol

 

Yea, just buy a set of drag radials for the rear thats all you need. Putting them on the front won't do you any good!

 

most people only buy 2 DRs for the rear, not unusual at all, but some people do use them for autocross as well...

 

ideally you want a skinny tire up front , to reduce rolling resistance.

 

yup. I only have 2 DRs. No problem at all.

 

i dont mean to hyjack the thread...but can some of the people that run 2 DRs comment on the brands they have, i will be shoping for new tires soon and i would liek to get a bit more power to the wheels, expecially with 4.10s

 

The BFG's are great... I have also heard good things about the Nittos

this should make your decision pretty easy. look at the magic these tires did.

14.545@99.37 w/ 2.226 60'
to
14.086@99.09 w/ 2.050 60'

and that was with a 3500 launch with a bog
in teh spring i'll be doing a 2nd gear full burnout dumping the clutch around 5500
can you say 13.6 with a 1.8 60'?

 

mickey thompson all the way.

unless you get some stellar deal, i would use no other.

i have used almost every cheater slick on the market....and mickey's are the best.

 

Nitto's will last longer than the BF Goodrich too.
