how many of you daily drive on drag radials?

[neckdemon]

just wondeirng how many of you use drag radials on a dialy driver, and how has your experince been with them? i've driven on nittos with a couple of fox body 5.0's, and i just put nittos on my '03 cobra. just wondering if i should expect any problems.

i used to..but then again it rarely rains around here

Cold weather gave me the biggest issue with traction

i am going this route from now on...

i tore up my regular tires after 8k of aggressive driving. so now i will just keep the dr's on the rear and just replace them more often. and i will get the benefit of great off the line traction and no wheel hop.

even tho it rarely rains here, last week i noticed that the dr's are fine if i just go real slow.

the nitto's are supposedly way better for wet traction than the bfg's. i've never had a problem with the nittos on my 5.0's. but i never drive fast in the rain with a mustang anyway.

2nd set of Nittos for my DD! The Goodyear GS 3s just sucked for lots of reasons.

Nitto 315s out back and what a huge difference they made in hooking up. The first set I burned up in 7,500 miles or so but my second set has lasted going on 10k. I have babied them, and the car, a little more as time goes on. They ain't cheap ya know...

[PonyFever]

+1 Nittos for DD

+2
One year, about 6000 miles and 50 1/8 mile track passes and still lots of tread left. Will buy another set when it's time.

+1. 305/45-18 in the Nitto NT555R flavor on the back of my L. Drive with them in the rain as well. Im used to being careful since F1s, and a truck suck in the rain anyway.

nittos here, they wear a lil better than BFG's, (tread rating is like, 0 i beleive for the BFG's..) its not an issue unless its comin down,and hopefully, i'm not in the cobra. she pick up everything i've noticed.. gravel in particular.. cold weather, ( below 40.. let the car/ tires get warm, before tryin anything squirly..

 

[snake bite 03]

i just got my 1st set of nitto DR's and will be DD on them once i get insurance back on the cobra...
