[QUOTE="PR714, post: 16377792, member: 173976"] Don’t have any personal experience with drag radials but I’ve run the r888r for the past 2 years and will happily continue to do so. My car was semi-daily driven rain or shine and I never had a problem with them in the wet or at highway speeds. As far as dry traction goes they hook up just fine with a little heat in them and they’re a blast in the corners. The r888r is more of a road race tire and it has a stiff sidewall but the compound is very similar to, if not the same as some drag radials. The toyo tq IS a drag radial and has a softer sidewall than the r888r which would give you more flex and straight line traction at the cost of some cornering capability. From what I’ve read the tq seems to have a stiffer sidewall than most other drag radials which would give it a leg up in cornering and stability but I can’t personally confirm this. Before I went with the r888r I considered getting the tq due to the lower price but I decided I like canyon roads too much to give that up. Either one will be good for your purposes it just depends on if you’re willing to sacrifice a little cornering for a little more traction. Sent from my iPhone using svtperformance.com [/QUOTE]
