Default Tire Rack: Question about Drag Radial

At what point do you consider a BFG drag radial worn. The lack of tread in the beginning makes checking for wear confusing. Thanks.

Hey Mackey,

I had posted to you a while back about your 325x50x15 Drag Radials. I am currently running 315mmx17 Drag Radials and really need more traction. I hate to go with an ET Street for street driving. I cant help but think that your setup would hook better.

I keep thinking that I might need to try your setup but wanted to see if you had some pictures of the tires from the rear and whatnot so that I could see the fitment of them.

Any thoughts an ideas would be greatly appreciated!!
