Default Goodyear drag radials

Has anyone heard anything or tried these. I'm kind of curious of how they compare to a MT

They will probably take the same amount of time to dry rot as your mickey thompsons.

Hope that helps.

I won't lie, that made me LOL. I assume they will be just as good as the M/T's, but no better. Unless they flop, like BFG's radial.

The Goodyear looks like it has less tread depth than the MT. Which would make me think it wouldn't last as long. And I also LOL at Wes's comment.

From what I've heard, the Goodyears are right on par with the M/T and Hoosier radials. They are just size limited.
