I just got some used rims from a stock firebird. I dont have much money. Would it be better to get like a 40 dollar pep boys tire and burn out for a really long time, or should I just go all out and get the drag radials?
I figured if I do a long enough burn out on the cheapo tires, they would be sticky enough. Also, after I did enough burnouts, it seems like the tread would wear down and they would get better.
What do y'all think?
Thanks alot.
Joe

I d say get a pair of Nittos so u can driv to the track with em on and back home. then switch. u could get quite a few passes doing in that wat and get ur money out of them. (nittos) Either way would be fine i would immagine, it depends on how much money u wanna put in it.

I'd say go for the drag radials, maybe even a used pair with some meat on 'em still. The rubber composition of the drag radials are supposed to make a big difference.
Traction's my pb still, I can't get a good launch on street tires at all.
I picked up a set of used drag radials for $70 from a corvette shop that still have about 1/16" of tread left, and plan on trying them out Thursday nite.

If you do burnouts for a long time on street tires, they can glaze over and won't hook at all.
When I was on street tires I would only spin the tires long enough to clean off all the rocks and such. And definately do NOT go in the waterbox with street tires. You'll just end up spitting up water all over your wheel well.
I say go for the Nitto's. Then you won't have a problem at all hooking.
