Default Sticky Rubber!(HAHA)

Yeah, I just got the BFG TA Drag Radials put on my rear 18x12 Chrome Z06 rims. There 315's and all I have to say is WOW! I am not launching the car because I dont want to put any extra wear and tear on my transmision but when I just stomp on it in first I dont spin any! I havent drove my vette since last Saturday and its all clean and Zainoed up ready for this Saturdays local car meet! Can hardly wait! Just thaught I would share. I want to drive it so bad but the weather is in the 50's and its kind of cold.

Nice!

Let us know what you think when you get caught in the rain. I had these on my Z28 and it is a it scarey in the rain. I do agree, they did hook really well on dry surfaces!
