Anyone tried the Toyo Proxes TQ Drag Radials

I bought these for street use but I've never used Toyo Proxes TQ drag radials. The size was what I needed so thats primarily why I chose them. Has anyone had experience with these? They have a "0" tread wear so they should be sticky.

Good luck! Why not try the 315/30/18 Hoosiers?

I would have preferred to run a 315-30 18 but they are too short - need to be able to make 140+ in 4th and a 26" or shorter tire is making that impossible.

Good reason. I was thinking the shorter tire would help the 60' time, but wasn't sure how much it would affect top end.

Looking for a new toy.
Not a C63, but had them on my GT500 for street use - they make for a better street tire than an all out track tire IMO. Even decent in the wet, with a little common sense of course, or safely predictable in the wet at least LOL. Got about 5k out of a set, with several trips to the local track, where they cut repeatable 1.7x sixties (car ran mid 11's at ~124mph). Like I said there's better track tires out there, but for street use and occasional track duty, they're a great all round tire.

P.S. I had the same 315/35-18 size.
