Bogie89 Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Alright fellas and gals. I'm looking to get some drag radials for my new wheels. I'm looking to gather your guys reviews and opinions on your favorite ones. Brand, size, and how long they lasted you. I'm currently looking at 315/35r20 Nitto NT05s.

wagner Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 If you want them to stick, Mickey Thompson is the only way to go. I used BFG Drag Radials since the car saw street duty with them on and they lasted a while and worked well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogie89 Posted July 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 How many miles would you say they lasted? I still daily mine until I buy a new daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagner Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 How many miles would you say they lasted? I still daily mine until I buy a new daily. I would not use drag radials as a daily tire, that will not end well. They will not deal well with high amounts of water, trust me. Buy some cheap spare rims to mount them on for track use.

Bogie89 Posted July 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 I'll be buying a daily sometime soon. Just gotta make up my mind on price and what I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 For best track performance (ie stickey) Mickey Thompson or Hoosier. For a better all around tire that gets longer life the Nitto 555R, the NT05r is more in between. I have driven in the rain on both Mickeys and Nittos and the Nittos are notably better, not nearly what a regular tire is but there is a big difference between drag radials. If getting some mileage is a concern I'd go Nittos, if all out track performance Hoosiers (Mickeys are a very close second). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogie89 Posted July 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Anyone experience with Nitto Invos? I may get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectragod Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Had Nitto's, went to Mickey's, I don't daily mine or drive it much at all, but when I do, it sticks without 200 feet of smoking tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Cranium Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Anyone experience with Nitto Invos? I may get them. I have Invos on my Impala. I love them for a street tire. For a car with somewhat mild acceleration like my Impala they grip just fine and the car corners well now too. I don't think they are much of a track tire though.

Bogie89 Posted July 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Well what guys with my setup are at is anywhere from 445-465hp. It's not like it's gonna be a monster just a fun street car that I'll wanna go to the track with sometimes. I guess I may give the Invos a shot and see how they do.

SRTurbo04 Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 I would not use drag radials as a daily tire, that will not end well. They will not deal well with high amounts of water, trust me. Buy some cheap spare rims to mount them on for track use. I daily drove bfg drag radials every day on the srt4 handled great in the rain. Even did some passes in the rain and it hooked well haha.

Cordell Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 An Invo isn't a drag radial, where'd that come from? Make thread about picking out drag radials, decide on something thats not a drag radial. Typical CR is typical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to get a 2nd set of rear wheels for radials till I get a daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
