Several faster (180 to 225 mph) cars at Maxton use M/T and BFG Drag Radials.
I guess since the 10" width helps with traction. I watched for 2 years Roadsters and Full Bodied Cars go down the track at those speeds with drag radials, I then asked the drivers about the tire etc... I checked with the chief tech and was told all OK to use them.
I bought a pair for the rear of my 1933 Ford Vicky. 1. yes they hooked up better than my street tires, I only hazed the tires for a few hundred feet. 2. The car went a bit faster 3. They felt unstable to me above 150, I may have had to low tire pressure.
I switched to BFG G Force Sport Z rated tires,,, a little less first gear traction, better stability and I went faster,, faster was because the car handled better....They are low profile Z rated tires and did quite well.
If I use the drag radials for LSR on the Stude,,, I will air them up more...and see how that works
