Re: 18" Drag Radial??? (C5 CU)
What kind of power do you have?
And how do you like the new BFG tread pattern compared to the old..
I know the old bfg's would only last for a few miles.. Is the same true with the new pattern??

I just installed BFG's 18's on my 99 and they hook up awesome. I can dump the car at 4500 rpm and they hook up. I really like them but it fries my clutch when I do that. Kaley

Re: 18" Drag Radial??? (2C5only21)
I have fully tested the new styl 315/30/18s on my bolt on modded 03 z06 and with 4.10s these new drag radials dead hook my car and even bog me on the street if i dont bring the rpms up to about 1750+. They hook up awesome but will probable only last about 5 to 7K miles before they are toast.
Also, my one and only complaint is my big drag radials spit up major amounts of rubber on the rear bumper of my mill yellow Z06 causing mega tar like specs all over my rear bumper and its not easy to remove b/c of the oil substance found in rubber! :mad Otherwise, i give these a HUGE THUMBS up as they dead hook my Z on the street with 4.10 gears.
