I'm looking to get that last 1/10th out of my 60ft time. I'm doing consistent 1.6 60s with 255 x 40 x 17 Falken Azeni RT615s. Which drag radials won't break the bank and what size should I get to go with stock wheels 17 x 8 wheels?

If I'm getting 1.65s now, would it be safe to assume the drag radials will get me into the 1.5s?

 

That's a good question that I would like to know as well.

I have a set of stock rims with Nitto 245 45 17 drag radials I would sell - they worked well

 

Al (and others with experience),
How much of a difference do drag radials even make compared to regular street tires?

 

not much, I noticed some drag radials add extra wheel hop. If you play with the two step a bit, you can get a good set of all seasons in 1.5 range

 

how about kumho ecsta v710? they look like slicks

 

They will not work on drag,only on roadcourse and autox.Drag tire should be soft sidewall,hard sidewallwill have a lot of wheel hop and put a lot of load on the car.

 

I need the answer to this too.

 

how much?

 

Bump...

 

Has anyone tried the Mickey thompson drag radials? We have used them on several cars and they have been a great improvement over street tires and even over the Nitto DR's.

Heres what they have size wise for the 17" rims
P275/40R17

Would those fit the Evo?

 

That I'm not sure on.....I suck at tires sizing. Let me check into it.

 

yes they will fit under an EVO, but you have to have bigger than stock wheels (which is what this thread is about) and have the fenders rolled. Dont rule out all AutoX tires. John Shepherd ran well into the 9's on 225-50-16 Toyo RA1's before he switched to slicks.

 

Are the Advan A048s drag radials?
