Re: BFG drag radial prices
See if they will price match tire rack. $1,110.00 + shipping from them. Rear ones are on backorder right now, but should be available soon.

Re: BFG drag radial prices
don't Nittos require more heat then BFGs. mileage is a plus, but if burnouts are a no-no, then your on cold DRs. correct?

Re: BFG drag radial prices
ill check tire rack. The price i was quoted was with a warranty and mount and balance. But i dont know the break down of the price. Keep me updated on the Nitto's please
i just checked tire rack price and without shipping and the 243 and 312. discount was 265 and 333 not a huge difference.

Re: BFG drag radial prices
i've read through a ton of DR posts on different boards, mostly RWD cars.
And most everyone comes to the same conclusion. Nittos are a good street DR, but need alot of heat to get comparable traction to the others. The BFGs get decent mileage (for a DR, nowhere near the mileage you get with Nittos). The dont need alot of heat to hook good. And the M/T hook the best, but are the worst for everday street use.
Of course you'll get people daily driving they're 900hp mustang on M/T, and say that they're fine. But take it as you will.
For mostly street use, you'll get more life outta the Nittos. But since burnouts aren't advised with SyTys, if your looking for consistant 60's, i'd go with the BFGs.

Re: BFG drag radial prices
Thankyou for that, i love bfg, never had a problem with their tires and have used them for years. I love to get miles out of tire too, but this is a performance thing and should not skimp on the part that makes me stick to the road. It wont get driven much so unless there is a better tire for 18" wheels and traction,ill do what you say and get the BFG's like i wanted, but im not against a better suggestion. They dont own me, yet.

Re: BFG drag radial prices
new to this site here guys but not new to drag racing.
first off can u guys fit a 28'' diamter tire?
secondly i would not even consider a nitto as a drag radial. its just a "good" street tire. i run BFG drags 275/35/18 on my GTO and they last about 8-10 months as a daily driver and hook pretty good. MTs are up their with M&H and Hoosiers as the best drag radials for traction
what size did u need?

Re: BFG drag radial prices
Hey Guys,
I had the Nitto 555R drag radials on my last truck, and LOVED them! I had the stock size 245/50/16 on the stock wheels, and it hooked like mad. Just roll through the water box, powerbrake it to spool it up, nice big AWD burnout, and give er hell! I will definitely buy these again for my new Sy...

Re: BFG drag radial prices
28" tire fits fine. You gotta kinda watch the turns, or you may have some rubbing in the front.
I've been eyeing some 29" tires, but it looks like you'd need stock ride height to make them work.
I'd skip the nittos as well. If your intent is drag racing, the M/T or Hoosier radials are the way to go.
The Nittos make a good tire if you're looking for a compromise road/track tire.

Re: BFG drag radial prices
Never liked the nt 555 dr from nitto. Allways took to long to heat up. I run 18" yes i said 18" BFG drag radials and i run 1.50 60ft time all day with little burnout time . If i didnt have such large brakes in the front id have 16" rims and im sure it hook even better with them.

Re: BFG drag radial prices
...selection all depends if you have to drive in the rain, how much driving-tiring wear your
comfortable with, what your dot-local cops/emission/inspection department allows, and
tire sizing (ie matching front/rear dia's for AWD your happy with).
Everyone is making drag radials nowdays, even Toyo. Every hot rod magazine that
does power tours, cruises, or get-togethers and report on vehicles that crashed afterwards
due to slick/rainy conditions.
Then, of course, there is the back and forth arguments about radials vs bias ply
(front vs rear, vs both), tire growth and wiggle, high speed stability, stickness, tire
pressures (low, medium, high), and a ton of other "parameters" which make tire
discussions "individual and personal".
But it comes down to compromise: the closer it looks like a slick, the better the grip
for real racing. The more it has tread, the more it may work better for the street.
The harder the compound, the more it has to heat up to stick, but the longer the wear.
And lastly, the smaller the sidewall, the less flex (ie loading), and less grip
(thats why rails dont run 20" "donk-looks"). Even tubes/non-tube tires have
lengthy discussions on racing forums, so do a google and prepare for lots of reading
if your collecting info, or just price check and select the ones you believe in.
Chances are , the most popular brands, are backordered anyway.

Re: BFG drag radial prices
if u guys can fit 275/55/16 M&H drag radials i would highly advise them. they are a very soft rubber compound with highly streetable treads so its the best of both worlds. they are currently used on some very fast cars.
