How do drag radials handle around corners
How do drag radials respond when pushed hard around turns? What are the limitations outside of driving in a strait line?

Re: How do drag radials handle around corners
My old nitto 555r's feel very stable and good in corners but they arent a great radial
The nt05r's are much better drag radials for straight traction but you can feel the softer sidewall around turns compared to a hard street tire. They grip well. My trans am wanted to understeer much more than over steer but my sway bars are not huge and not ws6 size.
I have 27.4" tall mickey et street radial 2's in 19" rim size on my camaro. Feels really good so far. Havent pushed it in turns much but i feel fairly confident with them.
