BFG G-Force Drag Radials + Rain. Experiences?
 
I'm due for some tires and am thinking about the g-force t/a drag radials. Yes for my daily driver. I know they wont last long but money is not an issue. I will replace them every 4-6 months if they work well. My concern is how bad are they in wet weather? My Azenis plain suck ass but I am used to them. If they are close thats fine but if they are 10x worse I may consider something else. Anything to help with the traction loss on a dry road. Anyone? Experiences?

they arent that bad, if the DOT says they are approved for street use its safe to say they are good enough. you just have to be a little catious when its wet.

Thats pretty much a givin. 300hp is a bitch in the rain with a slick tire. I've had my share of very light 40mph throttle skidding heh. Car wont turn for ----! I'm sort of leaning towards the KDW series as it does rain a shitload here this time of year.

If you have all the power to need slicks all the time and your cought off guard by a vw that wants to race just learn how to controle your car, if u have so much power you can affor to lose a little bit of traction off the line and beat his ass in second 3rd 4th 5th and Reverse
