While they aren't as good as a drag tire, with our heavier cars, they're not bad.

Why are you running an 8" rim in the rear, BTW ?

They aren't as sticky as the BFG, but would probably be better for a DD. Especially for the paint.

I have 555's and they had 18 or 19k on them when I went to the strip. Tread on them lookes great still, but could not get them to hook up (2.x 60 time). When they were brand new they hooked up much better.

haters crazy
I ran Toyo RA1's daily for a while and even the last time I took them to the strip with barely any tread left, they were still cutting 1.7x 60's Just had to heat the crap out of em during the burnout towards the end of its life
