Those will still go up in smoke depending on how much power you have. They "MAY" be better than what you currently run, but a 35 series sidewall will be WAY too stiff to really take advantage of the softer compound.

Yeah they are the new DR's, I shopped around for awhile online and the best price I found was $354 shipped I think was the final price.

Why? How? lol

I understand that, but I don't feel that my car is enough of a drag car to justify buying another set of wheels.

nice, let us know how the hook

Will do!

nice tries! curious how they do vs nittos. and for the record i have a whole hand full of time slips where my "stiff" 35 seriers sidewalls on my nittos still get me 1.78 60 fts! so i like them alot!! and post pics of them mounted and on the car!

Got them mounted yesterday. My car is pretty dirty because I hit rain on the way home and its all spotted up now. So if the rain stops enough today i'll try to get her half way clean and snap a picture of her ass for you guys.

Ok, So from what i have tried them out so far they have hooked amazing. For the acceleration that I have given them I would have been all over the place with the sumis. This was at 40 psi so i would imagine they would hook great with a pretty good launch after dropping the air. my car is the basic bolt ons, with 3.73s nothing extra from whats in the sig.

I haven't raced since I had them but I think they would hook pretty good.

If they hook well with bolt ons from 40 psi, I'm sure they'll do great for me... this might have to be my next set of tires. My MT's dead launched me with the stall to 1.69 60', maybe these can do the same for cheaper.
