I have heard excellent things about the falken azenis. My buddy with a sr20 s13 has em, and uses to drag, as does another friends with a 13sec civic hatch. They say their hella good drag tires, BUT are just ok in the wet and are loud when they wear down.

I'm using Eagle F1 gs-d3s. Great tires. They score excellent on tire rack. And come stock on lotus's. great autox tire and wet tire. As a drag tyres, um they're ok, only tire ive ever used in drag, so i can say too much there.

i'm a toyo guy, i run the proxes t-1S. they're the best by far. alot of tires out there are awesome, but why are you going to pay extremely high for a name. yes, the t-1s is a bit pricey, but not like the bfg's with equal performance. when i hit a puddle at or around 80, my steering wheel doesn't throw a fit. i could have run any tire out there (i sell them) but i thought long and hard, because it is expensive and i am a poor boy.toyo proxes t-1s, look into it.

when i crashed my celli i had t-1s on it. they are 245-45-17's off a mustang. i got 2 for 50 bux installed brand new tho so i couldnt complain. it was only temporary, but those tires were incredible.
