Lol of they didn't work those tires wouldn't be a popular a they are now. It also does matter the size of the your if you get some 215 width your and making a good amount of power oxidase they won't work.

DIREZZA SPORT Z1 Star Spec 225/45 R17

they are one nasty tire.. i loved them... i was at about 325whp and on a warm day they would try to break loose in 2nd but not fully..... they are also a great tire for cornering.... for drags... go with the radials that everyone else suggested... i have had both for both scenerios

 

From what I've read on other forums is the NT05 is a pretty decent tire. I think I will be trying these out since I dont plan on changing tires and driving my car daily

 

my buddy tryed the dr on stock rims at 350wheel,315tq and wasnt happy got a new set of rims and ran 235 or 245 DR they wouldnt break in 2nd with a lsd

 

^^ see width makes a big difference

 

hahahaha lol
HTC Evo (swype) > ME

 

From my past experience those BFG's hook up nice...just don't expect a lot of mileage out of them!

 

I hear ya man.

Only DR's I've ever used were BFG's.

 

So does anyone have a definitive answer as to what the best high-hp street drive-able tire is?

 

I've already said it. But no one listens to me
Those tires are awesome

 

Yeah there were alot of people talking about the star specs at one time. Think theyd hold 3rd gear with 500+ whp? Id just like to be able to get on it on the highway, and not have it break loose like crazy hah

 

I think low 500- mid 400's no. They won't break loose.
If your just doing a 50 roll. I think they'll be fine. They are a very sticky tire. 225/45/17's held up well. Like I said. 325 whp and barely spun 2nd. I think a little wider tire. You'll be golden. I also recommend it because it's a great street tire for cornering.
Bfg's might be better going straight. But you won't have the tread life and the cornering capabilities of the Dunlop.

Just my $.02
I have never had these in a 500 whp car or heard of people using them on a Tc.

My boy had a 460 whp srt4 and he swore by these tires. Never. Never spun 3rd unless he was banging out if second. Again. Just my $.02.
These tires will be on my Camaro once I hit the 400 plus mark

 

Did you have to roll the fenders for the 235 DR's?

 

star specs wont hold over 500+ lol unless you gonna run 285 or higher. 500+ is alot to put to the ground

 

yes I understand that... i was just giving my personal experiance with them.....
i think 460 isn't that far off of 500 and he he didn't have a real wide tire on his... thats why i said what i said..
i really dont see ANY tire holding 500+whp with less the 285's that is gonna be a good all around tire.. when i say all around tire.. i just mean you wont have to replace it in a month because of the compound...... and they will be bad ___ for cornering....
i just dont see drag radials as a good option for the street.. again just my opintion

 

i got you... like for example i have 245/40/18 michelin pilot sport 2 and they are like 220 treadwear and when i was at 402 i raped 1-3 gears. anything lower then a 60 i spun them.

 

Anyone try something like the Yokohama Advan Neova AD08, Toyo R888, or Nitto NT01?

 

i heard yokohama re11 were good sll around tire but damn the price 266 a tire + shipping (245/40/1

 

Aren't they the ones that ptuning uses on the time attack car^^^^
