I believe they are R rated. Check on BF Goodrich's home site.

"The world's first radial ply DOT- approved street-legal drag racing tire. World record setting traction/acceleration for the strip and execllent control for driving the trophy home. "

I am not into road racing or driving in the rain but straight line performance and this tire seems to be made for that. I've had 4 Cobras with some pretty healthy motors and this is the first time I could actualy get on one in first gear and it sticks!

I am not against Nitto but they just don't make a big enough 15 inch Drag Radial, as their expertise is more directed at 17 and 18 inch tires...and I wanted the 15 inch look.
