| "daily driver" drag radials vs. extra pair of wheels I was originally gonna go buy a set of 15s and drag radials for the track, but now that my current tires are getting to their wear bars i'm wondering if i'd be better off running some drag radials out back w/ regular radial tires up front. With my current job i don't even get 8k per year. Its like 785$ for nitto drag radials out back and regular 555s out front. And roughly 400$ for the extra wheels and tires. |

 | Re: "daily driver" drag radials vs. extra pair of wheels I agree i don't see them helping out unless you have some serious engine work done i would just go with a good pair of street tires especially if it's a daily driver |

 | Re: "daily driver" drag radials vs. extra pair of wheels you might hit 15s again with DR's. i would spend my money elsewhere. drag radials dont last long enough on the street, and if thats all youre making a year then you'd hate spending that much on tires again in 6 months. |

 | Re: "daily driver" drag radials vs. extra pair of wheels Pointless. Completly pointless. When I auto-crossed I had a full set of slicks and tell ya what the only ones that helped were the fronts. If your having traction issues get a really nice set of street tires and call it a day. |

 | Re: "daily driver" drag radials vs. extra pair of wheels I agree also, get some good street tires, drag radials are to expensive and last no time, and trust me at 800 a pair you will regret it. had bfg drag radials on my stang years ago, and they helped some, but honestly to repeat my self again wasn' t worth it.

| Re: "daily driver" drag radials vs. extra pair of wheels if you want some that bad why not buy a used set for cheap?

| Re: "daily driver" drag radials vs. extra pair of wheels unless you are hitting 13s, you dont need DRs IMO.

 | Re: "daily driver" drag radials vs. extra pair of wheels I kept one pair of my ZQ8's for 17" DR's... and if I ever make the power that I end up needing it, I have a set of 15" steelies out at my dad's shop that I can throw some slicks on. All set.
