how long do these bfg drag radials last? my tread looks gone now but they still feel sticky.. i was hoping maybe if i warm them up enough it would still perform the same or am i losing time?? best 60ft was a 2.0 but most of time its 2.1-2.2

From what I have heard, those work quite well when they are close to bald...IMO, your short times are way off for a DR car. What pressure are you running in them and what is the rear suspension configuration?

any advice? i run the tires around 15-12 psi the rear suspension is stock but i got maxspeed springs and lakewood shocks.
i do burnout before every run. when i launch low at 2500-3000rpm i feel it hop then bog. and when i launch higher around 3500 im fighting wheelspin. best time was 13.8@98mph

psi is to low. They don't like less than 16. In my old nova that same tire has went 1.46 60ft. try leaving at 3200. On dr's there is a fine line between bogging and spinning the tire.
