    hey brandon, I drove mine the fifty miles to the drags last year on them at a high pressure lowered to race then aired up(with my portable tank) and left they work good as long as there is no rain....LOL

    M/T slicks work great
    Hoosier slicks work great but wear out much faster

    BFG Drag Radials. The set I have now have done three 3K mile HAMB Drags round trips that include 1000 mile streches with out stoping with no issues whatsoever.

    I would run them everyday, they have exellent street manners and are good in the rain, but they are just a touch too short and make the car look a bit funny...
