Going to Fayetteville on sun. to run. It will be nice to stretch its legs through 1/4 since i usually only run the 1/8 at my local tracks. I'll be looking for some 11.00s and 7.00s this time

That's a lot of tire.

What kind of 60's do you run to need that?

Its not really as much as you think. the M&H drag radials i had dead hooked the car,just like these. The rubber on most drs is just as soft as a ET street, but the et street has a wrinkle wall that soften the hit on the drivtrain,were as dead hooking a drag radial with a m6 gets distructive quick.

Thanks. If a drag radial will dead hook a manual car than its best to have a wrinkle wall tire because it's accually easier on the drivetrain. Autos it doesn't matter as much because of the converter
