Holy cow, I'm not sure 31 spline Mosers would hold up to that thing.. Looks really cool though.

Are those DOT approved Dr's or slicks? Very badass looking either way.

I think those are the DOT approved drag radials, hence the couple of lines in them. Obviously it shows how practical they are for the street. lol

Yeah, they are DOT, but anybody w/any sense would make these a drag only tire,,meaning: (xtra set of wheels to mount them on)

Wonder if my 10spline input shaft and clutch will hold a 5k RPM clutch dump w/them???? We'll find out May 20th (first run down the 1/4 with this car)

i wouldnt recommend it, i know too many cobra guys that have broken half shafts from launching with drag radials let alone those drag radials which are almost slicks. if you decide to do it, make sure you have a flat bed to take your car back home. good luck with it
