Re: Nitto Drag Radials - Streetable? In the Rain?
If you want an all around nice street drag tire, the ET street radials are perfect. I put about 2000 miles on a set last summer. I have run the nitto's, both 700 and 710 Kuhmo's, the ET street radials are the best for pure traction and the ride is not bad. At the track you run about 15 psi and on the street they run best at 21 psi. If you go higher they get squirrely due to the tire crowning.
With all that said, you can't get crazy and put G's into a corner. Quick lane changes are also a bit scary and like any tire without treads, they don't like water, but, they do bite. On the bottle, I can easily spin the Kuhmo's at will in third gear, not so with the ET radials. My guess is the BFG's have equal or better traction due to their size, but, I wouldn't think they ride as well.
