Default Drag Radial ?

How long do they last? Meaning how many times down the 1/4 strip can I go and doing a good burnout for about 10 sec every time? Thanks!

They should last you a good while if your only using them at the track and not daily driving on them. I've had mine for about 3months now and they still have a decent amount of life left.

Sweet... but do you have a guess on how many times I can go down the track with them and doing a good burnout before hand?

if your just gonna put them on for the track then take them off then you should be able to go at least 2 or 3 months on them doing big burnouts at the track. If you gonna be driving around with them every day then i'de give it 2months and they will be done with big burnouts. I drive on mine everyday and do decent burnouts and they've lasted awhile but im not at the track all the time.

I think DR's have a life span of 15K or 18K miles if you drive them normal no burnouts.

But i've seen them last longer.

on my nitto nt555r's I did some major burnouts on them and they probably had maybe 100 1/8th passes on them.. each time doing burnouts. I also bought them used and they still had about 40-50% tread left, I didn't driveon them though.. they were only used for the track.

nittos will generaly last around 10-15k miles
BFG will last around8-10k miles
MT will last 5-8k miles.

This all depends on usage amnount of burnouts and etc...

I get a little over a year out of my nittos with my track outs in there as well.
