BFG Drag Radials

18*10 rear wheels. I want some reviews and comparisons on this Dr compared to some others. Not driven in rain-looking for "hook up abilities" along with handling/cornering etc... Running BFG kdw NT on car now. need more traction at over 500rwhp.

The BFG T/A Drag Radial is certainly one of the better tires for off the line traction. Any drag radial though isn't that great when it comes to cornering. If you are looking for more of a streetable drag radial I would look into the Nitto NT555R Drag Radial. This model will give you the best overal handling and off the line traction.

what size would do me best on my 18*10" rear wheel? what would you recommend running in the front? 18*9

What about running the KDW NT up front and the BGF DR on the rear vs the nittos since I already have the KDW's up front with minimal wear....

If you run the BFG Drag Radial, the KDW NT matches well. The ideal size for your 10" wide rear wheel is 295/35-18 and for the front, 265/35-18.

I recommend checking in with your local store to see what they can do for you. They can typically match online delivered prices and can offer you a higher level of customer service than anyone can online.

if you want traction and your not driving in the rain than your only option should be the hoosiers

and this is the best place to get them from:

eBay My World - mccrace3563

if you dont see the size you want listed just call him. ive purchased 2 sets from him and his prices and shipping times are great.

i will never again buy any other tire but hoosiers after driving on them, bfgs dont come near them in terms of traction
