Mario Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Nice buy Rob, are you going to run/use them on the streets or only for shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 Im going to run them on street for a bit and for shows. Only bit of fun as you dont see many drag looking supra's on the street and as i said im a massive fan of that look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Ok nice, same over here, never seen one cruising through town down here with a drag car looking setup, I'm wondering how they feel like when fitted and cruising through town's and motorway, are you willing to let us know what your thoughts and findings are?

Jamie runs the drag look alot. he would be the best one to answer that but ill do a thread when i get the look sorted and tested on road.

JamieP Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 On the street the big sidewalls give a soft ride, bit sloppy in the bends. I dont use my drag wheels much on the street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mario Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 @ Rob, ok will be nice to read by the time. @ Jamie, is tire wear the same as with road tires? when used for road use only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Drag radial tyres dont have much tread depth from new so wont last as long as a full road tyre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesy Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Drag setup on the road is AWFUL, big time - its like driving on a water bed, and as for cornering at any more than 40mph, forget it!! That said, you can PLANT your foot in 1st gear and get traction, and it looks brutal and full or purpose!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DARETT Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I keep the 15"s at the back for street driving and don't find it too bad. Sweeping bends up to 3 figures have been fine, obviously the steering isn't as sharp as it would be, although I'm hardly gonna try any twisty roads at WOT I think it depends on the getting the suspension/Geo setup right as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RZ95 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I drife aeound on 15's all the time and they feel great even in the bends and also at high speeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I drife aeound on 15's all the time and they feel great even in the bends and also at high speeds. If you drive a Supra with stock 17s and stock tyres, you'll see how much difference there is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
