[QUOTE="azc0bra, post: 16629708, member: 130873"] I think doing "well" is all subjective. What is considered doing well to you? It takes a pretty skilled driver to hook a drag radial with a high powered stick car, especially our cars being how heavy they are. You really would be much better off by buying a second set of rear 15" wheels (if you have swaybar relocated), or 17" if you don't wnat to do that.. and putting a bias ply stiffwall 28x10 slicks on the back of the car if you actually want to hook with the car. Again, all relative. To me, a 1.5 60' is decent and would be quite difficult to do on a drag radial consistently without a ton of experience in these cars, as well as having your suspension dialed in and lots of seat time. With a slick, you could do that quite easily with some seat time. Again, it is all relative. If you just want a radial for decent street traction then the NT555R2 will do fine, I use them for street driving and they do decently in 2nd gear and up with ~760whp. But, I would not run them at the track as I know shit would start breaking and I would be unhappy with the consistency. [/QUOTE]
