im running them in an 18 right now. they hook really really well. if you are wanting these for DD tires they are gonna run out really fast. for track, they should last a long while

you are not going to get a dr to last because its compound is too soft man

hatrickstu is right on this one, but the Mustang and LS1 guys seem to favor the Nitto 555R drag radials for the street. I think that's what I am going to have to run in the near future myself.

I have a set of 17" rims with the same BFG DR's mounted and balanced on them. They hook awesome on the street/strip. Mine have 1 trip to the track and don't even look like they have been used. Like Hats said, drive them and launch hard on the street often and they will go fast. My wheels and DR's are also for sale.
