BFG drag radials
Do you have to season them before you use them?I have read that you have to do a moderate burnout at dragstrip pressure then let them cool for 24-48 hours to finaly cure.Is this true or can I just go race on them.All so what pressure are you guys running with them.

just go race on them, I didnt season them and they worked great for me. DONT get carried away in the burnout box! these tires dont need much smokin- just a quick clean and go.....they last longer that way too.

All I do with my BFg's is a quick spin and straight to the line. As for pressure I run them lower then most people. I run them at 14psi. If I run 16 or aboove I tend to just burn them. By the way I am running 275/50 r15's.
