I have a chance to pick up a pair of BFG GForce Drag radials used for a pretty sweet deal in a 295/35r18.

Owner says that they are half worn, but I feel like 2/3 is a little more accurate description. I really just wanna try them for this summer, and see if I really feel like a Drag radial is what I want/need back there.

Is there anything I should be concerned with when getting a pair of used drag tires... other the obvious... damage, dry rot, patches, plugs?

 

 

Nobody even wants to tell me they suck and I should get Micky Thompsons, or that for $50 this is an amazing deal haha.

Thought there might be one opinion on it.

 

OK, if one has a spare set of 18" wheels already on hand (or, do they come with wheels?), it would be a pretty good deal. Slap them on & go see if the car hooks better, assuming traction is an issue.

I had a set of BFG DR's back in the mid - late '90s....they didn't do much for my car traction-wise ( totally blew them off with ~250 rwhp/ 330rwtq / stock torque converter), and that was running them at a semi-prepped track, the fabled Los Angeles County Raceway strip of Palmdale California.

But, for $50 (PLUS gas- ouch), you could have a couple days 'o fun of doin' long smokies...

Thanks for the reply. These are the Gforce drag radials, so not the same ones offered back in the late 90's, but may have similar rubber composition. They do come with wheels, but I have those sold to another vette buddy which is what drops my price to $50 .

I think I am gonna run them for this summer, and see how I like them. My rears are almost gone anyway, so needed to do something. Smoky burnout may be in my future for these tires...
