Hey Luke...

I just ordered tires from you folks:

BFGoodrich T/A KDW-2 (Fronts) 245/40/18
BFGoodrich T/A Drag Radials (Version 1) (Rear) 275/35/18

Car: 2004 W211 E55

Question 1. It's too late now since I've already ordered them, but what are your opinions on the BFGoodrich drag radial vs. other brands? I did a google search and most opinions came from Mustang forum sites and the consensus on them sound good.

Question 2. Do I have to "flip" the rear drags over to maximize the wear on them? Any other special care instructions?

depends on the weather
I run the drag radials on my drag car and have tried all of the others ... while there are some that offer better 60' times they can be pretty scary on the big end ... the BFG is a good blend of launch and stability ...

no need to flip them unless you are wearing the inside edge
