Default Received my Drag Radials today...

This morning I received the used Drag Radials (BFG Drag Radials 275/60R15) that I bought on Ebay... I only paid $130 for both... There's probably 30% thread left on them - which should be enough to race a couple of times... Now I have to find rims to put them on.. I only want to use them on the strip - so I will need to mount them on another set of wheels...

:cheers:

Olivier

Sweet!! :D

Hello, low, low-12s...maybe an 11.9x in there! :)

I think you'll be surprised how well they wear if you don't drive 'em around on the street. The BFGs, especially, will really wear if they get hot and stay hot for an extended period of time (like highway driving). The Nittos seem to have much better overall wear, but take a bit more time in the burn box at the track to get as sticky.

You'll enjoy them...and after this set is gone, I bet you buy some more. :)

Good luck!

My goal is 11.99!!! It might be possible.. However - I think that my chances increase in winter... Lower temps = more power...
