Default Who would have guessed tires, again?

Bf goodrich drag radials installed today. The goodyear eagle f1's only lasted 20 days (1500 miles ) just like the nitto's.
I will report back on weather they last any longer than the others.

Try to lighten up on your foot. Those BFG's won't last any longer than the other sets you've had.

Are you wearing the rears out or the fronts too? Getting the alignment done too? That's burnout contest wear level...

If you continually operate your engine (regardless of displacement) on low manifold vacuum it will impact the life of the rear tires significantly.
