 I'm looking foward to going to Englishtown as much as I can this year and like so many other tC owners I'm in search of traction.

Right now I have 18x7.5" speedy rims wrapped in BFG KDW/2 @ 225/40R18

They're great for daily driving and especially nice in the rain. However, even with LSD it breaks loose so easily in 2nd gear, forget about 1st.

So I was thinking either going for the R1



or the Drag Radial



Both are street legal. I hear the Drag Radial kinda sucks in the rain, and the R1 is a killer for sure. Most likely I'll change out my wheels at the strip so I dont have to put many miles on these guys. The R1's are pricey but that really is not a concern being that I've already blew so much on other mods.

Here's the wheel I have now:




Here are the wheels I was looking at as well:




Perhaps in a 15x7" flavor, only weighs ~ 16lbs
Wrapped with 225/50R15 ?

I'd order another 2 of the wheels I have now but the F**KERS stopped production. Argh!!!

Would it look stupid?


I'm looking to buy 2 new wheels along with 2 of these tires exclusively for the drag strip.

What would you go with and why?

 R1's for sure. I know a guy running these on his 750+rwhp vett and his traction control has never kicked in with them. They are some sticky butt tires. From what I've heard from him, if he dumps the clutch too high, he risks breaking an axle because they're so sticky

edit: actually, if you're planning just to do drag racing, go for the drag radials instead because the R1's are a track tire rather than a drag
