Sup guys, I just wanted to let you guys know that if you are looking for drag radials to stay away from the kumhos v700 victoracer because they are freaking heavy. Too heavy. I put them on my stock se-r rim and the damn thing weight 44lbs and my 17"'s weight like 41lbs. Slows your car down in the track. Does anyone know of a good drag radial that is lightweight?

Arent those tires for track use and not 1/4 mile?

The nitto 555r's are pretty good.

Dude, the Kumhos are not for drag racing. They're intended for road racing and auto-x. If you want drag radials, get some Nitto 555Rs. Those should be OK. But, if you want a drag only tire, get yourself some classic wheels and mount some 20" X 8" X 14" slicks (like MT or M & H).

My Bridgestone RE730's are excellent drag strip tires. They spin a little, and then all of a sudden hook up and you take off liek a motha...course they dont last too long if you drag too much.

Those nitto 555r's, are those streetable race tires? Can I drive those to the track?

 

[nsracer]

Yup, they're street legal. You can drive to the track with them.

Don't laugh but I'm already calling for pricing a stuff and I think I'm going to get them. Do you guys suggest heat cycling them? Is it really important to heat cycle them properly. I was just thinking when I get them to take a really long drive on the highway then take them off and let them cool down for 2 days. Let me know what you guys think.

 

[nsracer]

Na, I wouldn't worry about heat cycling them.

Danny,
The Nitto 555R are good for street and track, I been driving around with them on my turbo car for weeks, I even went to Tampa nd West Palm with them. They really impressed me and Dre at the races, I have to wear them if not my car roast the tires on the 16's to bits. Ask Doug.
