I know what you mean. Wait until the drag radials wear down a little more then try to drive it in bad weather. They wear down really fast on the street.

How pathetic am I? The drag radials have been on the truck for 10 years and I raced it once in 2001. The rest of the time has been on the street and they still aren't worn out. I need to drive it more so they will wear out, then I can get new tires and the Coys I want. Wife can't argue about the purchase if it is needed.

Wow, you really know how to baby a set of tires Mine wore out to zero tread depth in two months on the street.

They work better at zero tread depth until you hit the non-tread compound layer but are not street legal or safe if the roads are even damp let alone wet.

Go have some fun and wear those tires out so you can get the Coys.
