I bought some gvr4 wheels off of chris a few weeks ago and I want to get a set of drag radials for them. What size/brand do you guys recommend? The car will be lowered too.

I hear good things about the BFG's and the Hoosiers. BFG has a 225/50 15" which would fit real well on the GVR4 rims. I wouldn't go any larger than that, you will have fitment issues.

Wow, a 225 will fit in the wheel well with no rubbing?

Yes.

This car has 225/50 15" BFG drag radials all the way around.

My car had 225/50 15's on it for a while too, I did have rubbing issues in the rear, but the fronts were always fine.

I have a set of barely used MT drag radials that I won't be needing. I really liked them, cut .25 off my 60' consistently over street tires. I'd take them over BFG's (ran them before as well).

now when running D/R's.. do u lower the air presure at the track? (1/4 mile) if so how low is safe to go?

Yes you do, I lowered mine down to 12psi.

Yeah you lower your pressure. Every tire is different. I wouldn't lower it as much as slicks. I even lower the tire pressure on regular passenger tires when I'm at the track, even though it probably makes no difference, it makes me FEEL faster!

I had a set of bfg's and I loved them. I also had them in the same size and had no rubbing issues at all.

Did any of you guys have any sort of limited slip?

No lsd here

I ran open diff with a big16g and supporting mods my best time was a 12.7, I was spinning though 2nd and it would hook in 3rd.

I also ran a welded diff with the same setup, ran a 12.3 and it would dead hood in 2nd and have very little in 1st.

If your tire is a highway tire lowering the pressure will just cause it to cave in the middle of the tread losing lots of traction. Also unless your tire is 100% slick DO NOT go in the water. The water will collect in the treads and make a nice puddle for you to launch out of.

I was looking at a new set of tires and found:

Think that will make a nice daily driver tire with some grip to it. Ideas?

For a drag radial I also came across:

It seems pretty nice but untill I get my LSD I will just buy one
