Any opinions on these two brands of drag radials. I am running BFG TA up front and replacing BFG TA 275/60/15's in the rear on Weld drag stars . I am looking for a drag radials for weekend work at the track. Any opinions on opting to 275/50/15 for more meat on the pavement. Should I stick with the 275/60/15's. Gobs of torque, I am running 3:73's in the pumpkin. Headers ,big cam .roller rockers, unknown headwork and a b4b with a Holley 950 HP. I can't even walk it out on the street tires .

What RPM are you going through the traps at? Going to the 26" tire might put you at too high of an RPM before the end of the 1/4. As far as MT vs BFG, MT wins hands down.

With the torque our BBB build I'm not sure if the G Force could handle it, the MT street radials work great. I switched from the BFG to MT's and run a 295/65 size.

I think you're talking about the new KDW G Force BFG tires and not the BFG Drag Radials though. If that is the case, the new G Force tires hook very good and are a true street tire with a deep tread.
Last weekend we bolted some 295/35 x 19 G Force tires on a friends '06 M5 BMW (500 hp) and 4,000 lbs. 1.80 sixty and 8.20 1/8th at 89 mph. That equates to about a 12.50 et or so. And 1/8th mile is not the place those cars shine. It pulls harder from the 1/8th on thru the lights, but the track was only running 1/8th that night. This was with the 7 speed SMG trans. We'd stab the throttle from idle and it'd just squawk the tires. Impressive tires and even more impressive car!

The MT DOT drag radials are superb

I agree I'd go with the MT's in the 295 65 also Lotsa sticky tire on the ground
