MT’s get all sorts of fucked up when exposed to extended highway driving or DD status, from what I’ve heard they hook the best though. If I had a car that was remotely close to requiring them I’d put them on an extra pair of rimzzz. ---

Ive never had a problem running ET Street Radials on the street, but some have… For DD, just go Nittos. They are better than a street tire, but you can get “15,000 miles” out of them ---

i have about 1000 miles on my BFGs with alot of rolling burnouts. theyve got some good meat on them still. ive been stuck in the rain with them. not too bad, sure its not ideal. but i survived, just have to do everything slower and sooner. but ride is fine, drives smooth on them. with a FWd turbo car, DR’s will help but they arent the cure, so dont expect youre gonna hook very well unless youve got some type of gear based boost control. now for wayne. ive seen that alot of the Cobra guys use the Nittos, they have a 100 treadwear rating a believe, where my BFG’s are 00 rated. for me, as i run a 225/45/17 and BF Goodrich is all that offer that(nitto only has a 245/45 which is a tad tall) i will be buying them again im sure. but im probably going to close the season on a set of michelin ps2’s since driving to maryland on DR’s isnt the best of ideas for me. ---
