Best drag radial available for the 135?

Grillo · 09-29-2010, 06:36 PM

I am going the drag strip in 2weeks and i need the best drag radial i can buy. I am considering the nitto nt-01 drag radial. but I want to know if there is a better tire(more grip). I also was considering hoosier r6 but some told me that is a track tire. appreciate any advice or help.

thanks

Mickey Thompson for me. Was .43 seconds faster (10.44 vs 10.87) for me on my GT500 in the same size vs. Nitto 555R drag radial. A good friend of mine tried the new NT-01s and was not impressed. He went back to the MT. Pretty reasonable wear on the road as well. You are right that the R6 is a road racing tire (like the A6 is for autocross).
