Default MT drag radials break in?
I just had a new set of MT drag radials mounted on a spare set of wheels.

Are they good to race right out of the box? They don't seem very sticky.

Maybe I need to drive on them for a hundred miles or so before I take them to the track. I Never ran drag radials before.

Just do a good burn out and you'll be good to go.

Took mine out for the first time last weekend. Just heat them up in the burn out pit and you're good to go.

Sounds like you are getting serious.....Vette Magic is not too far off. I hear that the MT are supposed to be the best for your $$.

I should be running a little faster than last year. I just hope it's not in the high 90s again.

Is your ZZ4 gonna be ready?
