|  Nitto Drag Radials vs. Yokohama A008P's Hey this past weekend i raced a 95 Cobra who had Nitto Drag Radials 275/40--17. My car was equipped with Yokohama A008P's 255/40--17. When we took off he was spinning like crazy. I thought he was going to smoke me being a Cobra on drag radials but my yok's hooked up and he got dusted and disgusted  . I had plans on getting some Nitto DR's but i'll just stick with my Yok's.------------------ 00'GT,(S281 clone),3 chamber flows,K&N filter,BBK underdrive pulleys & 3.73 gears. No time slip as of yet(est.13.7-13.9) |

|  Nitrous Al: They hook up great without heating them up. Normally they cost around $210-$230 for 255/40-17 but i got mine for $195 thru a friend. They also last longer too! ------------------ 00'GT,(S281 clone),3 chamber flows,K&N filter,BBK underdrive pulleys & 3.73 gears. No time slip as of yet(est.13.7-13.9) |
