I used to have a set of drag radials on my factory rims which performed OK on the street (much better than stock tires!) But I understand at the track DRs can cause more breakage than the extra traction is worth. A lot of people seem to like ET streets on a CCW drag pack setup. The ET streets seem to be forgiving on the drive line due to their flex, and the grip they provide is forgiving on your time slip
