Default Running Drag Radials

People keep telling me to get drag radials for the Z because I'm really having trouble putting the power to the ground. I know they wear faster but what are some other +/- about running drag radials. Do they make them for my 19"x9.5 Volks? Thanks for the help fellas!

on the plus side, you get tons of grip and they work like slicks..

my rear tires are almost done at 14,xxx miles and im also looking for drag radials..

if you take your car to the drag strip a lot go for it, if its for daily street driving dont get em

the biggest dr size i'm aware of is 18". most people run 17's or 18's at most. there are handling disadvantages for two reasons. less traction on any slick/wet surfaces and the sidewalls are usually alot less stiff than street tires and flex more through turns. besides that and rate of wear the only difference is price and size availability.

The Nitto 555R's will last about twice as long as the BFG's. They are still twice as soft as any regular street radial. I run them and am more than happy with the traction compared the Kumhos I was running.
