What brand is the best drag radial?
What is the best drag radial in size 345-30-18? Any idea of the place to get the best price on your suggestion? Thanks in advance,

Jagdpanzer,
How do they act on the street? Your Z looks sweet with them on

My experience with them on the street is limited to the 50 mile trip to and from the drag strip. They perform quite well in the dry but you have to be very careful in the wet.

i also have a set of mt 315x35x17s. if you have headers and porting . they dont hook very well .the sidewall is too short for a manual car. i have gone to the et street 17 in slick tire at randy woods suggestion and they really hook well. but make sure your ujoints and bearings are in good shape . it really all depends on what you want to achieve. if its go to the strip for fun a couple times ayear then the drag radials arent bad .just make sure when you are driving on the street with them you run 35 lbs of air . when going around corners dont do any jerky movements or you could loop the car. i found out the hard way that the sidewalls flex more

If it's a drag radial you want.
I use 335-30-17 Hooser Drag Radial works freaking great. Only 2 straight lines for tread. You can drive around town with no issues, no rain. My buddy Bob has the 345/18 BFG Drag Radial on his Z drove in a storm all the way to BG last year they were good up to 60MPH. Pete
