BFG Drag radial 2

Blk02stang · 05-30-2006, 09:16 AM

Anyone used them yet? I just ordered a pair of 274/40/17's for my bullet wheels after a blow out Sat night. Just wanna see if anyone else is using this tire and how well it hooks.

matrixpuba · 05-30-2006, 09:54 AM

just ordered mine an hour ago.
315/35/17
they say its night and day vs. nittos
the old style bfg worked good so this has to be better(i hope)

Good friend of mine has the same size on their 01 Cobra doing 337RWHP and 347RWTQ. They love them, and they look large for a 275.

O, and they just got 4.30 gears so yea, they push them to they're full potential. And it's a 5 speed. lol

the bfg is a size bigger. last summer when i put my old nittos next to a bfg the bfg looked wider. everyone else says the same thing about the bfg's. i wanted the hooser 335-30-17's but didnt want to roll the renders.

have you had the old tread pat. if so does the new pat. hook better? i remember the old tread pat. was great

whitethunder46 · 05-30-2006, 11:25 AM

well the new pattern doesnt even have tread in the middle of the tires, just on the outside edge, so yea, they'll hook even better.

Any idea on the tread life of them?

Pics?

spike_africa · 05-30-2006, 12:36 PM

They do hook better then Nitto's for sure, but i dont think they are good for a daily driver tire. There center section is solid and wont be sweet in the rain. I really was tempted to run these instead of Nitto's but in the summer it rains here soo much it isnt worth it to me. The Nitto's take me to low 1.8 60' so i am happy with these.

Do post pics of them on stock bullit wheels i wanna see how they look. I might even give them a shot next go around when my Nitto's wear out.

Blk02stang · 05-30-2006, 12:37 PM

Thanx guys, I'm hoping they will hook great on the street since I like to leave out the hole on the kit. I know alot of the guys with NDRA and NMRA street class use the BFG and seeing Supra's runing 8's and other mustangs in the 8's i think they will be a good tire.

Blk02stang · 05-30-2006, 12:39 PM

The pics shown when my boy ordered them....they show a treaded area in the center......go on TireRack.com and look at the BFG drag 2's they are alot different then the original's.

matrixpuba · 05-31-2006, 09:48 AM

man i cant wait to try out my new found powa. all these sumitomos do is spin lol

Blk02stang · 06-01-2006, 07:35 PM

Blk02stang · 06-01-2006, 07:44 PM

n/a 2.0 bogging i was launchin at 3k and 18psi, then on N2o I launched at 4k with them at 14psi I was hittin 1.9's. But most of the time I ran it was right after a minor cleanup in my lane at the start line.
