    Top of the line 18 inch drag radial

    Looking for the best 18inch 315 drag radial out there, price is not an issue


    thanks, Mike

    IMO the new Mickey Thompson DR in 315/30/18 would be my choice

    but if you want mileage and a little less traction, Nittos
    almost no mileage and great traction, BFG
    absolutlely no mileage and awesome traction, Hoosier

    Toyo also makes a 315/35/18 now, and it is pretty affordable compared to other 18" DR's, $237 each. My only concern is the 35 series sidewall, might be a little tall and look odd compared to 30 series.

    Mickey's are top notch.... a 245/50/16 MT was able to hook the power from my car on a nice warm day!

    Like Dan said it depends on what you will be using them for--what are your plans?
    And I think the 35 series sidewall is definitely a better choice, either 305/35 or 315/35.

    I am selling a pair of like new 315/30R18 BFG Drag Radials that would fit the bill fine. No track time, no burnouts, cannot be told from new. PM me if interested.
