I don't think they are good for "Drag Racing" they say they are for "Road Racing" I think... I use BFG "Drag Radials and paid $179 at Jeggs..

Is the tire composition different?

Are the Drags constructed differently than the Road tires?

Yup road race tires would have a stiffer sidewall and lower profile and the drag tire will flex
