  • Nitto Drag Radials

    How do the Nitto Drag radial's perform in and out of the turns? Anyone ever use them. I just want a pair of those on the back. But I dont want them if they handle like shizz..

    Well back in the day when I had a sway bar, strut tower brace and power steering I used to rip through corners!!!
    I've got no complaints with mine, back when I could go through turns :D

        Less weight
        Free up power
        Etc
        I drag race
        Power steering is not needed in a straight line :D

          I believe Nitto has a road racing tire now.

            he asked about the drag radials. the racing tires are only produced in 17" also.

            i have the dragradials and they handle fine.
            only problem is that they seem to slide when turning...could be cold pavement though. ill have to see how it hooks when the streets get a little warmer.

              The walls on the drag radials aren't as stiff as the 555 series tires. yes, the traction is very good, but not as good as you could get out of stiffer sidewalls.
