I got some new 19" tyres for my Calais on Saturday morning and was talking to John the owner of Wheels of Wanneroo regarding semi slicks for drag racing. He has some serious experience in tyres and suggested i try BF Goodrich g-Force T/A™ Drag Radial.

He no longer stocks BF Goodrich.

Anyone tried these? Let me know what you think and where i can get them from, ive looked but havnt found a good US website yet.

So that's the price of the shipping? What does the rubber cost?

Nice!

Get onto sites like ls1tech and search the tyre on there, you might get some good reviews.

These might be worth a look, they've got a lot more size options. a 225 15 wouldn't do much under your car with the torque.

+1 u would be suprised how long they last , they dont need to be torched either , unless you want to compete with the other mad dawgsss down the plex on radial based tyres

Turbo4L - Cheers, keen to try and therefore test these. They may be better than MT's (Flame suit on)

H1GHROLLR - Not keen on competing with mad dawgs. Just want some traction....
