I obviously have not used these tires as I have not yet installed an engine.

But, I am the member of another Cobra replica forum where there was an extensive discussion about using drag radials on the street.

Everyone who seemed to have any knowledge of these tires (and tires in general) was in agreement (something that rarely happens). They are definitely not for street use and to use them away from the strip would be a serious safety risk. Even the manufacturer is adamant about this. Apparently, the cornering ability is next to nil and the sidewalls also create problems on the street.

Above all else, always be safe out there. Our hobby can't take many more "events" or else insurance will become almost impossible to find.

Second Thoughts: I now see you're an SPF owner, but I checked the member list and you are not a member of SCOF. Join the SCOF, it's a great place to find SPF specific info. With CC and SCOF you have the best of both forums (they are different). Do a search of SCOF for more info on this topic.

Hope this helps.
