  • If your going to drive it in the rain then a drag radial will work just drive slowly and make sure you don't drive with them balding in the rain. Most guys drive under 50mph on the freeway with DRs and rain some even slower than that if that gives you any indication.
    Doing less with more

          I wouldnt really want to chance driving on a drag radial in the rain either. Sure, it'd be better than a bias ply slick, but its still a drag tire and you are going to take a chance

          • I got caught in the rain once in my TA with the BFG Radials and I hit a small patch of water and almost s**t myself as my car suddenly found its way into the other lane. Of course they were not new so the "tread" wasn't as deep as it should have been but they do not perform in the water well. They are pretty damn good at hydroplaning though!

            • I'm not gonna drive it in the rain. If it's raining I don't go to Woodward. I asked because you could always get stuck in the rain. The car has on been driven in the rain a few times because my DD burned and exhaust valve which I am going to fix this weekend.

              The car is strictly gonna be a after work and weekend car.

                          • It involved never leaving the car in gear and in storage since it was in a warehouse they left it in gear, me being a dumb ass didn't check. Started it up, let the clutch up and then put it back in but since I was sitting in it sideways a Porsche Boxster exhaust stopped me. It chipped the paint in about a half dollar size right where it bumped and then flexed the bumper so right below the headlight cracked.

                            • Send the strut tower brace back if you think its actually going to do something. There just for looks....

                              • Strut brace is removed from my order.

                                So it's now 660 out of the 3k I was gonna spend for the axle setup. What else should I purchase?
