drag radials help any performance on the street or would I just spin more?

Just wondering, cause i'm thinkin about gettin Nitto DR's for the front 2 tires since im getting rims i thought i'd get them anyway and just run them on the street...and track sometimes. What's the verdict?

Better traction will help you anywhere. I don't know if 4th gens get wheelhop bad, but if they do, get some motor mount inserts first to keep your tranny in one peice.

Shave anywhere from .4-1.0 sec with those if u know how to drive. Prob best mod u can get since if u have no traction u wont run the times u should be running.

No way in hell will drag radials shave 1 second from your ΒΌ mile time. Slicks MAYBE if your car runs 12s. But drag radials will not help that much.

by 1.0 sec i mean with like a TT supra running on ****ty tires then putting on the radials yes he can shave 1 sec easily by doing that. I wasnt talkin about preludes only.

Well isn't that what everyone else is talking about? only!



And I was only talking about on the street. I know they will help me at the strip but I'm wondering if it will just make more of a hastle on the street ? Or still help me out somewhat there.. I already got this question answered from someone else thanks for the little discussion though
