Message	: drag racing Mitsu., awhile back. Bee's Racing is a car parts manufacturer in Japan. The Mitsu. is sponsored by Bee's and driven by a female and ran really good times with those tires. They are typically used for roadracing and auto-Xing but can be used for drag. Only problem is they don't last long. Usually, last 10,000-15,000miles, you can pull off 20k, if you don't drive agressively and use them conservatively. : -Jeff You don't want stiff sidewalls for a drag tire; you want the sidewall to flex when weight is transfered to the rear tire. 20k miles on a tire with a 60 treadwear? That'll be the day when my skinny arse breaks 200 pounds LOL Later, Phuong
