^^ my thoughts exactly.... the 26in size they make is only 8.5 inches wide... if they made a 275/50/15 id give them a shot... good year makes a decent tire... they look like they would get pretty sticky

The older style SS DR's were in 14/15/16/17's...

So only time will tell... I'll see if I can find anything at work tomorrow about them.

Josh,

IIRC, they have a new style of the SS DR out... and yes they have been around a few years, but this is suppose to be a new compound.

Nice times, but a LOT of us slooooooooooooower guys might get some good bite from our 12-14 sec cars. I had BFG Drag Radials on my 14 sec Bird about 5 years ago, and they were slightly better than my stock rubber (about 2 tenths).

I wasnt crazy about them but I wouldnt call them junk. They took a little more time for us to figure what to do to the suspension to make them work but once we got it right they hooked pretty well, 1.31 60' on one car in fact. Sometimes you just have to have a little patience to get suspension set up correct on DR cars..

I ran them on my stalled 98. They would dead hook on my 1.7 12.5 car.
