Time to change drag radials?
Hey all. When do you change out your Drag Radials with regards to how much tread is left? Is there an exact time 1/32 left on tread, or do you go by your track results, for example you start spinning more and your 60' drops???
Thanks!!! |

Touch test, rubber starts feeling hard when poking with my finger nail.

mt et streets will work right up to the cords. Nittos nto5rs lose the stick as soon as the tire is at wear bars.

I have a brand new set and for comparison sake, the old one's are much harder than the new set. I'm going with Vegas on this one, and swapping them out for fresh softer rubber.

My nittos only lasted one day at the track. Almost nothing left to them.

When they hit the wear bars, I start thinking about a new set, but will use them still.
