Drag Radial Question

[madness410]

About how many miles are drag radials good for? Does it depend on the brand of tires?

[ar0ck]

It all depends on the brand and how you drive. Just like any tire. Also all radials have sweet spots at all sorts of intervals in their lives. I hear Nittos have the longest life but the least amount of grip until they are worn.

From having almost every brand on my old mustang my ta and on a couple friends cars heres the conclusion i came too...

1. Mickey thomson- hook the best but last 4-5k miles
2. BFG- hook 2nd best and last from 6-9k miles and the new tread pattern is supposed to last a little longer and hook a little better but i have no experiance with it
3. nitto's hook well from a street tire and hook better the more they are worn and also need a bigger burn out to heat up but last 10-12k miles

Completely depends on how you drive and how much track time they'll see.
