What is the fastest all-motor 4th gen time on street tires?

The best way I've found to model slicks in cartest is just switch it to AWD and it does a good job of simulating a slick launch. DRs I haven't messed with much but I was able to simulate an average rwd DR launch by just kicking the coefficient of friction up a notch which gave me low 1.7s with my buddy's car that I was trying to simulate.

Iam sorry NHRA considers DR's street tires and they are ,
and also smart *** i will consider those tires you have street tires if you use them like i used my DR's. I went to a maxi meet 200 miles away with them on, in pouring rain. 75mph driving 7000 road miles one pair and drag racing. when i get RA-1's next year and pull a 2 flat 60ft and run 12's will i get the atitude and disrespect?

And also when the world record street tire records are shown these cars arent shown with all seasons.

And also this is to everyone NA what is your et's with nearly a 2.1 60ft ?
compare it to mine and relize 60ft for 60 ft i will walk your ***

Oh it's definately optimistic. My car's not getting anywhere near 12.2's N/A lol I set myself a 12.99 goal and to be honest I was secretly hoping for some 12.70's but low 12's is just way out of the radar. I will bow down to whoever pulls 12.20's in an N/A maxima, and nobody would ever believe it anyway. We'd have a long, drawn out "track timing malfunction" discussion about it.



Why don't you tell us what you run on stock tires instead, like I did.

Drag radials should be put in the same category as slicks. They are MADE for drag racing, and should be classified as such. You can pull 1.8 60' in a FWD on DR's, I'd like to see someone pull that on true, 100% all weather/good threadwear street tires with an actual sidewall in a maxima.
Ok MAYBE i would agree but on average i pull mid 2.1's with the BF goodrich tires. And with toyo T1-s's i pull around the same on average .thats my point i happen to have those tires on that day because still had thread on them and i wasnt ready for some new tires for the max.and for the sidewall it is built like a regular street tire it handles superbly it has steel belts in all the same places
I will get some RA-1's and pull a better time and prob get some feedback on that to

krismax your going to replace your drag radials with toyo proxes ra-1 ? i have no experience with either, but not sure how the ra-1 would be as good because of the stiff sidewall? curious though, i can get a sweet deal on the RA-1's but opted to go a different route. and please pm me if you beat a 2.0 60 foot with them.

SR20DEN will anally rape your car on the steets from any roll or any mph. It wouldn't even be close with your gutted, holey, 8000rpm car. 106>103 and he did 106 on nitto nt555 STREET TIRES. Until you run 12's I'll just say you are full of ****, when you run 12's and don't consider drag radials STREET TIRES I'll give you the props you deserve. I really could care less if you drive in the slow with drag radials, they still aren't street tires but it seems you're the only ignorant one that thinks so. I think JCLAW has 2-3mph on you also so I don't see you walking him either.
