:lurk:

I always wondered how bad/good DR would be for auto-x. I can't imagine the sidewall having much stability... but lets hear about it!

these drag radials are a radial... the only thing that makes them a drag radial is that the design of the tire allows it to stay together at high speeds AND low tire pressure. oh and compound obviously. these are NOT a wrinkle wall tire by any stretch. My neighbor runs these FRONT and REAR on his 95 he seems to keep up just fine when we go for follow the leader drives.
