Running with socks on a wooden floor and summer tires on a hellcat is probably the best analogy I've heard 😂😂👌🏽

Only in America is 707 hp a "decent" amount of power 🤣

Hi Riley, I am an old drag racer that has a '17 hell charger (I am 65 year old) . On stock tires at 2500 ft above sea level (the stock perrillies summers like yours) I turned a 4.0 (still on my recorder) on the street. My Trick? Use street suspension like you did for a little bit of weight transfer. BUT at the stop, put the trans into mann, use the paddle to shift it into 2nd before starting, yes start in 2nd. As soon as you come out of the hole, shift to auto b/c it can react quicker than you can (as you showed in one of your old videos with your charger) and then let it eat! You won't get the wheel hop you are getting either. Every hop slows the time downI just installed the Auttro 295/40/20s on the rear and now back at home in FL at sea level so will be going out soon for more 0 to 60s

Has 707 hp Says it’s a “decent amount of power” 😂

The amount of america in the first 0:30 secs is amazing

I got 3.1 0-60 on Mickeys in my stock charger this weekend. So you can get a lot better at the track.

With the same Mickey Thompson tire you have; I did a 2.9 zero to sixty in my 2016 Challenger Hellcat A8. Lower the air pressure to 14.5 lbs, and hold on!!

When subtitles are on when the car starts and is idling it says “music” Exactly KZfaq, exactly 👌🏼

Hey Riley! Get the continental Extreme contact sports. Drag radials are good for the track with their bad in rain, bad in cornering and most times loud and uncomfortable. I like the extreme contact sports as they are wicked good in dry weather as well as wet! They also corner and handle amazing and have a top speed rating of 188! Love the wrap bro!

Yeah I'd say they make a bit of a difference, LOL. Now we just need to get your car on a track in decent conditions!

I think with any rwd/fwd gas powered cars with 400whp that drag radials are essential. I prefer nitto 555r’s as they last a lot longer, and can be driven in the rain.

I love the drag setup. One thing you need that would almost make that car complete is a damn high performance cam and also you need to add Flowmaster 40 series and H pipes. Those three options would make that car scream like a 60s muscle car

Great Video. Less of a heater on the DR's, Mickey Thompson recommends a minimal burnout. Other than that, ever hear of MASKING TAPE? Saves most of the rubber cleanup after.

Shoulda kept this car...soo cool dude!😎

I’m only 17 and i’m saving up to get a charger scat pack. Can’t wait!

Lol yeah it's crazy that they come stock with 275s, and is the first thing that I would changeout if I ever got a cat. The 295s that I have on my challenger SRT8 are bad enough as it is, and is hard to control

what rpm did you launch at and what was the traction control on

Honestly, tires are the most important mod in any vehicle whether it’s drifting, drag, rally etc. tires are sooooo important I cannot express this enough.

NEVER get caught in the rain with those MTs! I was in a light drizzle going 40 mph and not accelerating whatsoever. My mustang completely 360° into the ditch . The MTs hook great for track use but for dual purpose street use , the nitto 555 DR's which will be safe in a rain and still hook well on the track and street.

Its not just about having 400+ hp if you're blowing through your tires on your launch then radials or sticky tires are gonna help. I make 220hp and 250tq at the wheels but my car weighs 2700lbs so it blows the tires off all of first gear and into 2nd.

What were the Drag tires used in the video exactly?

Riley check out Road Warrior paint protection for your lower rear area. Roll it on, let it dry, all the rubber sticks to it, not your paint, get it wet, peel it off, your done.

Wish you'd have discussed the price diff for us not in the know.

Get the JLT splash shields! They'll protect the body from all that tire mess. I got em on my Daytona 392 and work like a champ! No crap on my car when I do a burnout or track days. Great vid btw, def gonna get that DR combo for next season.

Next time, apply wax to the quarters behind the wheels. When you're done blowing chunks of rubber off the tires is makes cleaning up much easier

Could you daily these with stock 20’s up front? I know this is late, but I just got the same setup for my 2018 Scatpack

“Running with socks on a wooden floor” also describes any FWD car making more than 300whp and 350wtq. Don’t ask me how I know… 🤫 Very fun bid vid with some very great analogies.

Nice video 👍🏻 I’ve always wondered what the difference truly was lol I’m not gonna get them for my mustang now, but for the coming Shelby yes 😎

Glad I seen this, I'm going to try 4 of them in 17 inch on my truck next season

Thanks for posting this. I have been going back and forth on whether or not to get DRs. I was able to manage 4.3 seconds on my Conti Extreme Contact Sports with no burnout but I am running 315/35 20s on 10.5 inch wheels in the back on my Charger. Although instead of going the DR route I'm now contemplating getting a setup of straight slicks for the track on 18s. Decisions decisions.

People really underestimate the importance of tires. I see guys running crazy engines and big brake kits but the cheapest tires they could find at tirerack in their size...

One of the best auto videos on the tube

Better change out the driveshaft next RP

Stick these on basically an FWD racecar and you will actually feel such a difference

Drs and drive shaft are a must for these cars. And even then u got to learn how to launch

This test should have been done with tires the same size. Of course going from a 275 to a 305 in of itself should be better. If you're trying to confirm whether a drag radial is better, you should be comparing it to the same size summer tire you're using. Otherwise decent test.

So u mean to tell me that you just figured out that that drag radials give u faster drag times.... 😂😂😂😂😂 holy shit.... ur special.

Great results. very cool indeed. also love the new black wheels for the drag radials much better. looks so cool with your cool wrap and white body.😎👍 maybe get a pair to match for front now.😎

The dodge demon has near drag radials as standard! That’s crazy!

My Mustang does 4.6 on a perfect launch with 100% grip on my Michelin Pilot SuperSports. Just goes to show how much quicker a Hellcat is than a basic Mustang GT...

Wow that difference is LEGIT

3 tenths off 1/4 mile for every tenth of 60’ is rule of thumb.

New drag radials ordered today. Can’t wait to see the difference 👍

Very informative video sir!

I wish It would have Compared tires of the same demsions.

That’s crazy lol that my Camaro stock is 455hp & with stock tires my 0-60 best run was 4.4 seconds so I’m excited as to what these might do for me 😈

On 20" Invos, in my gt500 I can get 4.2-4.5 0-60

Wish he ran at least the same width tires. Because now we are also comparing new tires that are 1-1/2" wider.

Tire pressures on street and DR tires?

I did 3.6 in my A8 scat on those same exact wheels/DRs on the street yesterday.

I know you already mentioned you could do a better 0-60 with the street tires. But 4.7 is a horrible 0-60 for a hellcat, especially considering a stock R/T challenger with a CAI can do 4.9 lmao and a stock scat pack does 4.2.

Started to black out when you started doing math

make sure you tuck your suspension wires on the drivers side or the smaller rims will rub a hole in the wire over time

Try leaving TC on once. It seriously improved my 0 to 60.

I got the exact same setup but can i drive daily on them?? Never know when i got to race those mustangs, gotta be ready all the time lol

Buy some weld wheels

Love the content man...keep up the good work ✊🏾

Did you warm up the street tire to ? If not your test is disqualified for not following the same procedure for each tire

I get a consistent 3.6...3.7 with nittos on the street when it's hot out .

I loved this video. It helped me decide on what I wanted to do.

Can you make a video with the same comparison but on a dyno to see if the softer compound can alter dyno results?

I see a broken driveshaft in your future? Did you upgrade it?

What’s your drag radial setup?

Let me know how those do in the long run (The drag radials/Mickey Thompson ET Street Rs), because I'm looking at getting them in a 17 inch!

Have the same wheels and tires on my sister's challenger.. on the street they are still pretty worthless on her set up.. at the track they're amazing.

Love it how a hellcat challenger can hang or I bet has more H.P. compared to the Porsche GT

That first video going into this video should be ya intro or ending video that was cool as sht

Thank you for the video my dude!

As a muscle noob what needs to be done in order to fit the larger 305 on the rear? Obviously new set of wheels and the tires but is anything else needed or are these kind of "plug and play"? I am just curious!

put zl1 rock guards on your car they really work

Found it funny at 0:35 that you called 707 horsepower a “decent amount of power.”

Shit, 4.5 to 3.7 is pretty damn good. A little wheel spin just might save you from exploding your U joints, axles , differential , trans.....I just ordered a set of MT drag radials after using ET Streets at the track for the past 20 years and if these things work this good on a 700 HP car, they've gotta work pretty good on a 400 HP car. Anything has to be better than the street radials.

I’m getting those for my hellcat for the next season for sure

Maybe i didn't catch it. But what size tires and rims did you use for the drag radials?

I’m surprised you were able to semi launch on 275 street tires. I spin in one spot in my Mercedes 265 tires

Always Entertaining!

You really can't generalize street tires and DR's. There are many different street tires with a wide range of performance capabilities. As there is with different DR's.

My friends Challenger scat pack, 2.2 second 60 foot times. 1985 Corvette 230 hp engine 1.93 second 60 foot times. The difference? Tires!

Launch in 2nd gear...

If youre ever in Dallas look me up. I have a boosted v6 puttng down 4.4 0-60

Wheel hop = Let off the gas. Unless you do not like your half-shafts... The stock tire 0-60 pull was wheel hopping the whole time.

If those 305's drag radials and wheels could fit than why didn't they leave the factory with 305's ? I was under the impression that they used 275s on the rear cause they couldn't fit anything wider. If I bought a Hellcat, I'd have either wider tires on the back and or a wide body kit installed, to me looks are important even if if your not going to go around town doing burn-outs all the time. Plus it's safer if your not fish tailing every time you nail it.

What do you think about a decent size for a 550i gt bmw? I have a very similar 0-60 as you but I can not run smaller than 20” wheel due to the brakes. Currently have Pirelli 275/35/20 RF’s not ideal obviously with the stiffer run flat side walls however it is my daily w/o a spare. So with that being said, how much taller should my drag radial be? I have roughly 2.5” of taller tire clearance at a stand still.

Great vid, question what kind of wheels you had in the rear with the M/T what speciations?? Thanks

A while back you spoke about atturo az850s on your Scat pack, would those tires on a modified RT(headers, exhaust, intake) be better then the continentials you ran on your RT in the same size(275). Again I know your not an expert but from your experience I was wondering which you thought gripped better. I am spinning for the better part of the first 2 seconds on my 0-60 pulls and cant get better then a 6.0 (Nauseating I know)

Can someone please clarify the set up he’s running with the MT. Is that on a stock Rim size and did he Keep 275s on front?

2.2 sec 60' vs. 1.6 sec 60' is about 2 sec difference in 1/4 mile time, it's huge.

No burn out on the Pirellis? It would make a diff...

you said you were going to keep everything the same. Did you do a burnout with the stock radials on? Or did you just use the heat from the drive to the spot?

HOW DID U GO about ur tire sensor light???

that;s a nice Summit in the garage.... no videos on that?

How much time can drag radials cut on a 1999 Camry’s quarter mile? Asking for myself

I have a 16 mustang gt , an intake , Bigger throttle body and a tune , would it be worth to spend the extra money on some nittos nt555r or just get some less expensive street tires

Oh!!?? Do the 18" wheels fit ok on the rear of the Challenger?

Are both sets of tires the same diameter? How would this have affected your indicated speed and your true performance?

Do you think these tires will be good for my 392 challenger?

Are you ever gonna put a better drive shaft in it?

I did a 4.3 in my stock RT :3

Appreciate the video. Great info

Almost a second diff on the 0-60 is pretty significant 👀
