Default 20" Drag radial review!

I had a thread a while ago regarding 20" drag radials and I decided against them and just got a set of toyo proxes st2. MISTAKE!!! Anything over 1/4 off the line and they were spinning so I had enough and ordered the new Mickey Thompson et street SS in 305/35/20. Now granted my assassin bars may assist in this but on motor (haven't hit the bottle yet) it hooks hard on the street with 25 psi.
You can kind of tell they are DRs as they sway a tiny bit but the trade off is well worth it. These tires are amazing and recommend them to anyone.

Agreed, if swaying something wrong.

Maybe too much air? Don't necessarily mean sway but kind of all over the road like they are finding the grooves
Have 28psi in them

I'm not talking WOT, just had these at 130 and wot is amazing and straight as can be. I'm talking about cruising down the road. Almost like I'm in a jeep.lol really wondering if I just had too much air in them. It's not intolerable at all, but I did notice it. It's well worth the trade off.
Just made a few hits on the bottle and I can't launch on the bottle but at about 30' out on the street with a little burn out they stuck. The toyos would spin at a 50 roll.
Did a 20 roll and these stuck hard.

Radials dont sway
That's actually incorrect, mine have swayed @ 13 psi.

I typically run 15-15.5 psi @ the track with no sway. On the street I run them at 35 psi.
