Ok, lots of guys love the radials more than the normal streets because they say they are softer and are getting damn good 60' times from them.
I was just at M/T's site and read that the streets in a 28x13.5x15 are 28lbs and the radials in a 325/50/15 (same as 28x13.5x15) are 37lbs each.
The actual tread width is 11.0 for the streets and 11.6 for the street radials.

I'm just looking for people to chime in on what they like better, and have hopefully used both tires.
I'm hoping to get some bogarts soon in a 15x10 in the rear. Are the 28x13.5's too wide? any rubbing?

You shouldn't need that wide of a tire for a drag slick. I have 26x10.5" Hoosier QTPs and they will actually bog the motor on a launch if I air them down too much. I get better 60' times with them at 28psi than I do with them at 20psi. And with them at 28pis, there is about 1" of contact patch on both sides that isn't touching the ground. Alan Short gets some pretty good 60' times on 9" wide slicks.

well, anyone know if Bogarts 15x9's fit with SSBC brakes? I know 15x10's won't.

15's won't period, IIRC.
