Looking for new tires possibly DR...

What is the best drag radial that will give me as close to stock tire performance as possible (concerning handling)?

I am going to use one rims and I want to keep the stock size the same. Looking for better traction and good handling.

I have never used drag radials before so need some help.

Thanks guys

ermmm...wrong approach IMHO...you should be lookin for is a UHP tire that gives you close to DR performance...why...DR is NOT a daily driver...it's for driving to and from the track REGARDLESS of what someone may state here or else..AND they are designed for straight line performance....

I will let others chime but per my sig the BFG's are workin good for me on the street in (spirited drivin-have not tracked the car) and work O.K. at the 1/4...I REALLY need sum DR's LOL!

good luck and be safe...

I also wouldn't daily a DR tire, that said I'm leaning towards NT555 G2. I've got about 15K on a set of Invo's and it's getting time to replace. The Invo's are getting loud and little to no traction. The other option I have been looking at are the Conti's Extreme Sport.
