Did a search, came up empty.

List your brand, diameter and width drag radials you are using, what are you like and dislikes?

There is a big Zilvia drag unite thread on here.

But i'll bite.

BFGoodrich G-Force T/a Drag Radials 225/50/15 on a 15x7 Wheel.
Tires hold a 400whp (automatic) Hit from rolls above 30 mph. under 30 the tires will spin, Never tried to actively launch the car on these tires. Drove about 50 miles in the rain on these tires and i was quite suprised at how "good" they were as most poeople complain about them. I'm on my second pair they usually last maybe 10k miles, but the first set the rear 1/4 panel rubbed the tire so i got new ones.

275/45 bfg gforce t/a's as well on a 17x10 5zigen - work great, plenty of traction, haven't experienced MUCH traction loss unless it was cold out... 500whp, I don't drive very aggressively but they seem to be fine

Hoosier 255/50/16 on a 16x8. Dead hooks on the street with 400rwhp thru an auto. Still working on getting the car to hook well with spray on the street.
