Default thanks for Drag radial help

I have been running bfg 345/30/18 DRs but have been unable to locate any for the last 9 months. I asked for opinions on other DRs and got some great replies from the Forum members. I decided to go with Mickey Thompson 345/35/18 DRs and cant believe how sticky these tires are in comparison to the BFGs. I just want to thank all the members who helped me in my decision to go with the MTs. I am reallllly pleased, thanks again, you folks are GREAT..Cheers

They are EXCELLENT tires!!!

I used to run the 17" M/T Dragradials and had consistent 60" times between 1,43 and 1,49 all summer long on the tracks!

Good luck and have fun!

Tommy
