I don’t think R6’s will get up to optimal temp, but it is really hard to tell behind a keyboard. Optimal temp is in the 170-195ish so if you have an infared pyromeer/thermometer, you could check. However I think these would be closer, in race conditions they would get too hot in the dry. On the street I think they would be in the right range to a little on the hot side. Might wear too fast for your liking…? 315/35 R17 Wet… [https://www.hoosiertire.com/discontinuedtires.htm](https://www.hoosiertire.com/discontinuedtires.htm) Click begin shopping, the second tire down. Chances are you will be fine with an asymetrical tire, I would guess the construction is the same and the mold is the only thing that is different. Check Nitto’s site and see if they brag about using a dual compound, if not it’s fine. A “drag” tire will probably have enough cornering capabilities for you to enjoy/ barely notice a difference, just as a road race tire has enough forward bite. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/recommend-me-a-street-drag-tire-please/48801)._
