BFG drag radial new tread design vs. old tread design

[rsnyder]

Hey guys, just wondering how many of you run BFG drag radials. I know the tread design on the BFG drag radials has changed, and I am wondering if the new tread design is better than the old tread design. I think you can still buy both designs, so I want to know which one to buy. Has anyone had experience with both? I am currently running Nitto 315 drags, but I am going to a 10.5 rear rim and want wider tires. Thanks in advance for your input. :thumbsup:

it hasn't really changed (as far as since they have last been made - which has been a couple months already)

the 17's are made in the old tread pattern

the 18's are made in the "new" tread pattern
