315/35/17 Toyo TQ drag radials.

I havent seen many post on these so I thought id post my little review of them.

I just put a pair of these on my Mach its just your average bolt on 300rwhp 322rwtq car, and for this power level these tires are awesome, i can launch it on the street from 3k rpm and not slip a tire im very impressed with them. Im planing on goin to the track as soon as i can an ill update this with how they perform there as well. then ill finish my NX kit install and we'll see how they do with 500ftlbs of torque.lol

Re: 315/35/17 Toyo TQ drag radials.

I have the 315/35/18s and they are a great daily driver drag radial, had them on my daily driver Mach for a year (drive at least 40 miles a day) and they still have a little tread, the 315 runs a little wider than other 315s I've seen but they still fit on an 18x10. My car is a 290hp/305tq car, and at the track aired down with Pro-kit springs and shocks that wont really compress i was able to pull of a 1.8 60', that was 4K dumps they would peel a little then grab and go. Great dry and wet traction on the road... well as good of wet traction as you'll get out of a DR. All in all a good tire, not the stickiest DR you can get but they work great for a DD. Pricing for 17s is really good and pricing for 18s is average. I was about to buy another pair since mine are worn out but decided at the last minute to give 305/45/18 NT05Rs a shot due to the price. But I have nothing but good to say about the TQ!

Yes I do, normally run 20-24psi. in them on the street but I have them aired up right now. I'll post pics soon but you cant really tell they are TQs because most of the tread is gone.

Thats great new renegade, before i bought them i had many people telling me i was screwing up by not getting the MT's, i couldnt be happier with thier performance so far.

Re: 315/35/17 Toyo TQ drag radials.

I'm running a set on my Lightning (460 RWHP) at the track (alternate with a set of Hoosier DRs) and they seem to get the job done. They seem to like a little higher pressure (24 psi vs the Hoosiers which seem to perform best for me at 18 psi). Good street manners too, just a little pricey.
