Drag radials

[efnfast]

What do yo guys recommend for drag radials?

Just kidding Doug.

Toyo Proxes R888. They're great street tires but are almost impossible to break loose. My car is not tail-happy AT ALL any more! It's very frustrating!!

My PS2's only seem to break loose at the track.

I suppose you could try Proxes TQ on the back and Proxes R888 on the front, but I honestly don't think it would be necessary. There's a Japanese video somewhere on Youtube where a guy has a new R888 sitting on a table and presses the barrel of a ballpoint pen onto the tread. It sticks there for like 5 seconds. I think these things are made of barely-coagulated industrial glue or something. It's ridiculous how they stick.

Here's a link to that video. I own these tires and it's not BS. Granted, I don't drag race my Z but I just don't see how these wouldn't be sticky enough. Plus, you can drive them on the street. Just my .02...

Your right Steve,
My C6 ZR1 with PS'w spun the whole 1/4 mile.

A C6 ZR1 spun through the whole 1/4? I wouldn't blame the tires!

When I was running my 99 Cobra I inherited a pair of Nitto DRs and did pretty well pairing them with their 555R2s on the front. They were my "cold or damp" race tires for a season or two.

Of course using those DRs I learned that I cannot drive in a straight line .
