Anybody run drag radials? on what wheels/size?
So, I was talking with a friend of mine the other day about when I get done with the build sometime in my next life maybe picking up up a set of drag radials for fun...
but the only other set of wheels I have are my stock 14s...and I'd have to run a 205/something from BFgoodrich drag radial...
what are you guys running?

I would be afraid of tearing up the drivetrain more than anything. I know sort of off topic, but that seems to be the weak link in it all, anywho you could probably get just fine traction with 205 drag radials.

Sidewalls are not stiff by any means, but that's what also helps them hook up in straight line launch. That said, I haven't done any hard launches. It wasn't my intention to actually get drag radials, but I worked out a deal in trade since I needed tires and this is what I got. They're actually nice riding DD tires- probably because the sidewalls aren't stiff. I wouldn't recommend them for somebody doing canyon carving- definitely not a road course tire.
