Man you are gonna love those things. They also gettcha comments like you need new tires or I think your running to much tire pressure cause you are wearing the middle way fast.


Rookies that don't know about the BFG drag radial

Lance, very good choice you wont regret getting the BFG's!! The only way you will get the joy of punching it in 3rd and breaking traction is running too much air in those tires. 20psi for daily driving is best.....10-12psi racing hooks like a champ!
