They reason they are called Drag Radials is they are mostly designed for straight line bite . They ARE safe on the street . I have been riding on BFG DR's for 4 yrs, on my second pair and I love them. If your car is basically a street strip car they are great dry pavement tires. I have been caught in the rain 2X and drove slowly...avoiding problems. If you do not respect your power rain is always dangerous...worse on DR's . My car is only out on sunny days. On a road track or Autox DR's are not the choice , there are way better tires , no doubt BFG DR's were not designed for road racing. They are designed for the street/strip. But despite my "spirited" steet driving I have never felt these tires were pushed beyond or even near their limits. I have been in emergency situations and got my car straight with no concerns. I am constanty on highways. We have all seen Cobras go sideways.....DR's are designed to track straighter than regular radials on straight line hard accel. They do that which makes me feel safer when I get on the throttle. . I run Comp TA's up front (now they may need improvement!) . The BFG DR's also allow you to become familiar with your car.... in street trim... when you take it to it's launch limits at the track. I also like Nitto's in fact the Extremes seem real good from what I've heard. . What tire you select should depend on how you have your car set up for what type of driving both on public roads and sport competitions you intend to use your car . They do not keep tread long but once "illegal" they are designed to still have plenty of rubber for the track. They last about 5000 miles which for me is 2-3 yrs but after winter sits in the garage I'd swap for new tires anyway after that time. But the DR's do keep you planted when you play !
