im planning on it...have 275/50/15 sitting in my living room, gonna get them mounted asap but it looks like ill be checking the weather before taking the car out to make sure there is no chance of rain...i had problems with mickeys in rain these are gonna be a lot worse by the looks of it. i cant comment on how they hook, but i have heard good things.

i also ran mt et steets but as long as i wasnt being stupid in the rain they were fine. but i dont plan on running this car when its raining. i hear they hook as good if not better than mt's. but i tried ordering mt's again and they are on like a 2 month back order and i cant wait that long.

Ran them on my last car and it hooked well on them on the street (this car made 432rwhp). The sidewalls are on the soft side and I wouldn't drive them in the rain if you paid me
