Default MT ET ST 2's or TOYO TQ's?

Stuck trying to figure out which tire i should run either the MT St 2 or Toyo TQ in the 305/315 35/18 sizes mostly street driven TT auto car making lots of power will probably see the 1/4 from time to time and be driving some highway. I know these are DR's but a bit of handling would be nice also i heard both can deliver that?

I'm running BFG rivals on the front. It's a good tire. I'm running a 275/35/18 on a 9.5 wheel. So it doesn't tread water as good like a narrower wheel/tire combo.

I usually buy all my MTs through McCormack Racing.

Jegs has them. And Jim's Racing Tires in Essex is worth a shot.

I run the Mickey Thompson Street Comp 245/40r18 up front with the 305s out back. They pair nicely, probably better than those more track oriented Falkens. The MT 305s handling is...adequate. You WILL feel them squirm around at times.
