Drag radials

I currently have Toyo T1-S's in a 255/40-17 and would like better traction when at the track. I was thinking about getting the Nitto NT-555R in a 245/45-17 but would it still be much better since the tire would be both taller and thinner? Other than the BFG g-force which doesnt seem to come wider than a 225 for a 17in rim, are there any other good drag radials for both the street and track?

drag radials driven on the street daily won't last long at all! and plus they have soft side walls that you wouldn't want to take sharp turns with.

roozy,

what do you do when you want to put drags on? Do you have wheels with them mounted or do you put them on and drive to the strip? How do they do with highway and city driving. I have never tried drag radials but it would be fun to see.

i have an extra pair of rear c32 rims that i have them on ..so i just switch them out in the garage and drive to track. i've driven with them on for weeks but they aren't safe in the rain and tread ratings for drags are the lowest.
