Im seriously considering grabbing a set of DR's and just keeping them on the car. Everyone and their brother is making these things now and im really not sure which is the best.

Any comments or suggestions?

Thanks.

With the power that I am making with both cars I think its safer to run a tire like that versus a street tire/slick. The M/T radials do fine in the rain and haul the mail

Like Cherp said,,,,,275/60/15 M/T drag radials, on my Bu for 3 summers {street/track} now, I got caught in the rain a few times and as long as you don't drive like a 'idiot" they are good. I will need a new set at the end of this season and I will buy the same ones!!

Been running MT 275/40/17's drag radials on my Malibu for 4years and they continue to stick like glue. I'm saving up to purchase a set of the 20" MT drag radials. Like posted above, they're fine in the rain so long as you're not trying to break the speed limit.

What are your rim specs in the back? Any fender lip rolling or frame notch?

Thanks

275/60/15 MT drag radials here. No issues. My only suggestion is when it comes to the track I fire em up in the burnout box just like I would with a slick. The MT site says do little to no burnout. I tried that and would always spin coming off the line.
