14" Drag Radials - SR20 Community Forum

P10FTW · 07-21-2008, 11:23 PM

Alright guys, so I've finally put a nitrous kit in the car and now I have a majoe issue... traction. I'm thinking of using my P10 stocks. My question is who here has experience with 14" drag radials? The track is an gour and a half drive and the car will be driven HARD on the weekends, I was thinking of using 215/60/14 BFG but I have no idea how they will grip. Any input will be greatly appreciated.

BTW P10 with I/H/E 70 shot with a non-lsd transmission.

I was getting 1.9* 60's on the 205 Nittos. The 215's should be fine.

Jorge my DR's were 14's. They worked decent. better than regualr old street tires.

Well I purchased the 215/60/14 BFG's. Damn they got traction! I really didn't use them a lot, just a few gentle launches to get the feel for them and the track since I'm a total noob at the strip. 60ft went from 2.7

to 2.3

with 31psi in the tires. I know I can get much better but the track closed a little early. I'll be back there on wednesday to get some more practice. I'm going to drop the air pressure and go on the bottle once I feel confident with the launches. I'll keep you guys updated.

xbillion, I think the track has some traction issues. First time I went there on 205/50/15 Dunlop Direzza tires, I wouls launch at 2.5k and it was spin city.
