Do some research already. There have been like 12 threads about drag radials in the last week alone. The BFG's are great drag tires and have been around for a long time. People like those and some say good things about the 555's too.

I understand that you've been researching. All I'm saying is that there have been numerous posts recently about this very topic; which drag radials guys are using. Many people are speaking highly of the BFG's and some like the 555's. Its all subjective. They are both good for the purpose of drag radials. If you buy the BFG's this time, get the 555's next time to compare them yourself. Drag radials aren't going to last all that long anyways. You have a great opporitunity to let the other guys know which is better. Keep us informed of what you decide.

BFGs are stickier, 555Rs last longer.

I say get slicks and skip the DRs. Why cut 2.1s and 2.0s when you can cut 1.9s and 1.8s for the same amount of money. Unless of course you want to drive on them on the street too.

Yeah mine were like $140 each. I dont know what size DRs you are getting but even if you are getting 15" ones they are like $115 so you're only saving 50 bucks. When you are running 14.2s and could be running 14.0 flats I think you are going to really be kicking yourself for not spending the extra $50. Why compromise if you are getting a dedicated drag tire?
