i third the motion for the M/T DR's if you are going to run it at the track only. i have heard that for a daily driver, M/T's will not last very long. I swear by the BFG DR's. i used those on my daily driver and they worked really well at the track. the wear wasn't too bad at all. just remember, DR's+rain=bad news...

what size rim do the 88's have?

i had them(mt e/t streets) on my 97 s/c cobra. and i drove it daily and of course they didnt last as long as a reg tire but i think i got somehing like 15k out of them. and they werent that bad in the rain. but you did have to be careful. but ive heard good things of the bfg but ill stivk with the m/t!

Don't leave the Nitto's out of the picture if your using the car as a daily...

Nitto's are the best overall daily driver drag radial IMO, a world of difference over stock although they don't hook as good as BFG's or MT's -but they last alot longer.

nitto's are awesome for street use.. i loved them when i had them, that is until i went to the track. i couldn't stop spinning the damn things.

BFG DR. all the way i never try the mt but i hear that they don`t last as long as the bfg

Drgnracin72 · April 25th, 2006, 06:09 PM

dont last as long but hook a lot better in my experience!

173speed · April 25th, 2006, 06:16 PM

i got to try them one when i went to get my fist set of dr. i was actually looking for mt. but they weren't available so i got the bfg.and it was like night and day but my next set of tires are just going to be for the track prob a full slick and some good handling tires for the street

I have the Nittos and can't seem to get them to hook. I may not be doing enough of a burnout. First time out it was pretty cold and we were waiting 45 minutes to an hour between runs.

Drgnracin72 · May 2nd, 2006, 01:40 PM

with dr's you shouodnt have to do a hug monstrous burnout. just spin em a little and theyll hook. atleast thats how it was with my m/t

173speed · May 2nd, 2006, 04:46 PM

+1 with bfg

Drgnracin72 · May 2nd, 2006, 04:52 PM

m/t stick better

173speed · May 2nd, 2006, 05:00 PM

i'm going to sell my wheels and tires so next time i will try the m/t and see what the hype is

Drgnracin72 · May 2nd, 2006, 05:20 PM
