Look, I’m NOT saying drag radials are not going to get more grip, even on the street. I’m saying cost vs benifit, street vs dedicated tire. You know what I’m saying, and while it comes off as alittle edgy, I think you can agree with me. While a drag radial is going to provide slightly more traction on the street, you arent going to see significant gains until you get some universal heat in them (and not just cruising at a high speed, or cornering heat). Woody would probably be better off spending his money on a wider, taller, street tire which will help him get traction. Not only that but his car, being a turbo car, has a bit of lag anyway which will help him get traction whereas your fbody has instant torque that even I’m jealous of. (Hence the LS1 purchase). We’re saying the same thing, there’s just a bit of a language barrier here. As for the N2’s, I dont know anyone who runs them as a track tire, which is why I dismissed them. Everyone I know runs Hoosiers, 710’s, MSPCs, or RA1’s and just recently Ive been hearing good things about Nitto NT01’s.
okie dokie then. i can see where you are coming from. what exactly does he drive? maybe that would have helped this thread right away =). the r2’s never required a burnout for better traction so even cold vs cold night and day. i too have heard good things baout the nt101’s and i am debating buying more r2’s or going to the nt101.
