Can't find Proxes S/T anymore so here are my options all are 285/60/18... what would be best for DD/Drag Racing if i could find a tall enough Drag Radial i'd run them as a DD but im over running 29" tall tires on the street. Thanks

Couldnt find the Tread wear for the toyo's.
I would go with the BFGoodrich

FWIW those BFG's are awful in temps below 40*F. They turn into solid bricks.

Summer tires they are great

I had a set of those bfg's a few years ago. In the summer they worked great and stuck pretty good. Wear out fast though. Atleast mine did but for drag racing I think they work work pretty good depending on how the rest of the truck is setup.

BFG's will wear out really fast but will have good traction. I would go with the Toyos.

ill be running the kumho's shortly...

the proxies are too expensive and the BFG's wear way too fast. even on lightweight cars.

you forgot another option...the falkens listed on this page...also the kumho's are cheaper here. ive cut 1.65 60's on those falkens with 275's

I ran the Kuhmos for a while on my gasser and then shredded them once I got my Dmax. I didn't care for them.

Search some of Pat's posts regarding the KDWs. He ran them for a while. They definitely look the best.

Also look at the Cooper Zeon XSTs.

I had great luck with the proxes then I went to the S475 and they no longer hook well I might look into the KDW's

Um, no. 18"s-24"s to be exact.

Just do a quick search and your questions can be answered.
