Default New goodyear drag radial?

Hey guys....I am in the market for a set of drag radials. I visited the summit website and went straight for the BFG's. Then I saw a new Goodyear drag radial. It looks awesome and is actually wider than the BFG 315. (I have 17x11's so I need 315/35/17's) I was wondering if anyone has used these or heard anything about them. They are a little more money than the bfg and I know bfg's are a proven performer....but I'am still kind of leaning towards the goodyears. Try something new, ya know

Here is the part # GDY-6944

Thanks for the input!

All I know about are the BFG's and Nitto's. The BFG's launch better than the Nitto does.

Without a profile to go on, advice would be more relevant if you'd tell us your car's set up.

The best tires will depend on year/motor/trans/mods/rear axle, etc.
