Not true, M/T makes a 17" ET Slick. Not sure if they have import sizes, but my buddy runs a 26X10.5X17 on his cobra

Big thing with drs too is that you dont need a crazy ass john force burnout to get them sticky, most people do and thats why they go through a set every month lol. Just need to scrub off debris and get a little heat in em

They are a step above street tires, they are nice because they have sidewall ridigity, handle well in both dry and wet conditions, and you can get 15K mies+ out of them. They arent the best hookin by any means but a nice all around tire.

If you run et streets be ready for the random spin outs in the rain. If you are gonna drive the car in wet conditions dont get the mickey thompsons. Those things hydroplane if theres spit on the road
