Default Drag radials for daily driving

Good or bad idea? Car won't be driven in the rain or ice or any of that. The car has 295 BF Goodrich Drag Radials on the rear right now and would be replaced with the same tire.

They are fine for daily driving even in the rain. All you have to do in the rain is take it easy and your fine. The Nitto drag radials are actually pretty damn good in the rain.

They are still radials. They will be fine. They just won't last as long.

u can use nittos for daily driving and even in the rain. as long as you don't go nuts driving and doing burnouts, etc they should last a long time too.

Yeah I'll definitely be going easy on them at $279 a tire. Gonna go with the same BFG's that are on it now.

I recommend Nitto's for DD drag radials, don't waste your money on the BFG's if you are going to DD them. The tread life on the nitto's is way better then the BFG's and they are alot cheaper and will hook fine for the power your making. I have nitto's and DD my car rain or shine and no problems.
