    Default Drag Radials

    Was wondering if anyone has any drag radials or slicks for sale. I raced last night and was having some traction issues. Tried using the burnout box and dropping pressure. Let me know if u have anything in a 17 or possibly a 18. Thanks Jones

    I thought it was better to have more air pressure in the AWD launches?

    LAst time i heard you have to buy motorcycle slicks since they don't make car slicks in a close tire size. There is a recent for sale or a some kind of thread on evoM about it.

    No. Get bfg drag radials size is 225/45R17 I'm sure you might have seem me on them last night I was only launching at 5800 rpm and was pulling 1.8 60's.... They launch like a bitch around 20 psi and can produce consistsnt 1.5 60' times. The motorcycle slicks are not rated to handle the weight were at so I wouldn't suggest using those. Also, no higher tire pressure is not better, at lower pressure you make more use of your sidewalls resulting in better traction and less wheel hop which does break shit (believe me).

    1.7's are not that bad at all.... As far as spinning that's tough because you can't take the pressure on those down much more... If you stay on the tires your on you might try launching at 6000. Usually I keep my pressure the same all around. I don't know much about the Nitto's but I just priced out the BFG's and they are close to $175 a piece, I loved how they launched...
