16" performance tire or drag radial....what to buy
Wednesday, April 05, 2006 8:50 PM
hey im looking to buy either a real good performance street tire that will grip good at the track and on the road or a good drag radial for my sunfire. I have a set of 16" rims laying around so id want it to be a size 16. Any suggestions?

these are what i recomend, seeing as you want a drag tire, i doubt you would be driving these in the rain.

BFG G-Force T/A KD (Dry only)

directional and assymetrical, this means you need 2 drivers side and 2 passanger side.



those are awsome tires. probably the closest to a drag tire you can get without it being an actuall drag tire.

also these are good if you do plan on having it out in the rain, even if by acident.
BFG KDW (Traditional Tread)

BFG KDW2 (new tread)




Injection is nice but id rather be BLOWN!

How wide are the wheels? If the are 6-7"s wide, I would run 225/50/16.

I'll just say you get what you pay for and that they are cheap tires. Some people think they are good for the money, I think they are crap. They do have some new tires out that I have no experince with but, I am not giving them another chance.
