fast wearing BF Goodrich Drag Radials...

[blakbearddelite]

Has anyone had any experience with the BF Goodrich Drag Radials 2's? I've had mine on there for two weeks and they're already bald. I haven't done a single burnout nor taken it to the track....just some real spirited driving. I put maybe 400-500 miles on them. I know they were spinning a lot because they really were not hooking up at all, but I didn't think they were going to be bald after a couple weeks of abuse. Is this normal? I called Tirerack and I expect them to tell me that I abused the tires and it's expected wear. What a waste of $400!

2 weeks of burnouts

 

[PANDA]

wtf...

 

[Fish]

Wow.

 

[Bru]

That sucks, Mark. Those fuckers are tore up and you didn't even get a good run with them.

 

[Dasfinc]

are those supposed to be driven on the street at all?

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

damn, thats a dissapointment

 

[SinisterSHO]

I'm confused. Did you call tirerack?

 

[blakbearddelite]

Yeah, I called Tirerack. Haven't heard peep from them yet.

There are a couple of other guys on another mustang forum that said they've gotten 12k street miles from these tires. I never did any deliberate burn-outs on these, but I guess all the times I mashed the gas had pretty much the same effect.

don't say that to yourself.

As a consumer, hound them enough, and you will get a fresh set, or a replacement.

most DRs should last atleast 10k miles under normal driving conditions. even so, thats so little mileage to have that bad of a tire. you woulda need to hit up the track about 5 or 6 times to make tires go that quick

I get like 3-8k on mine depending how i drive. my 295s lasted about 8k. i really think these 315s will last me longer at 297 per tire

 

[Mook]

holy shit you werent kidding mark

 

[Stink Star]

I run that same tire and I usually get about 6000 miles out of them. You have alot more power than me though

[CrawlinTBSS]

thats fucked up. they shouldnt have burned off that fast. especially when you bought them new. unless you where riding around smoking them everywhere.

shit i bought a used set with like 3/32 of tread left for 75$ and that got me like 2 tracks days and still had some tread lines so i sold em.

they shoulda lasted wayyy longer...
