Performance. Check out these times recorded by FireCore50 customers last weekend in Valdosta.

There is a new M/T 275 Drag Radial as well. It is not DOT, but it really posted up some numbers in the classes.

I know I am seeing more and more Drag Radials on Mopars at races and shows. Turns your Drag Only car into a possible street cruiser too, without having to swap over your slicks to street tires everytime. The origianl M/T are DOT approved.

. January was our largest selling month ever. Over 7000 feet in 31 days. I can not help but think a large part of it was racers getting ready for the greatest race in February...ever.

We are very humbled by racers trusting us with their ignition wire needs. Thanks. Here is a short list of accomplishments of our customers from last weekend. I can not stress enough, that we played a very small role in what these teams accomplished. Thank you.

Thought I saw these on the Bullet, and they were posted as not DOT legal and they don't have any treads in them, maybe I am mistaken?

Yes, I posted the new 275's were not DOT. The Hoosiers are marked DOT on the side, but they do not advise it on the website.

The original style M/T drag radials gave my car the best 60' its ever gotten, but were not as consistent as the slicks, and are MUCH more dependent on track surface prep.

I run them on the street all the time.

The new MT tires are not streetable at all.They have a groove here and one there but nothing that would last anytime at all on the street.Race only.

I run Nitto 555r on the street because the give the best wear IMO and hook decent enough at my power levels.

I know this is old, but this is the current 1/4 mile record for Drag Radial. This was on 315/60R15 M/T tires

He ran 4.40 to the 1/8 on this run.
