I like the draglites I have a set w/ slicks on them. I use my Cobra R's for the street and my draglites for the track. My draglites w/ 265 tires weigh less than my Cobra R's bare.

Gotta love those drag lites. I'm running the 15x4's with 15x10's in the back on the street. They look mean as hell. Like speedjunky says they're light, my boy has cobra r's with nitto's on them and they feel like dead weight compared to my welds.
