Drag radial/ street tires... sidewall stifness.

Would buying a set of drag radials, such as the Nitto NT555R hurt handling performace over a tire such as the Nitto NT555?

NT555R


NT555


I'm sure that they would grip better, but I don't know whether drag specific tires like these might be lacking something that typical tires have to reduce sidewall roll in cornering.

Nice meats you got there...maybe next year I'll get some.

Hey! Tire gurus! Chime in!

Bueller? ...Bueller? ...Bueller?

Xander has the regular 555s on his car. Maybe the carcass is the same? Is so, they are really stiff
