So I'm choosing what to get now. MT Drags are more expensive, and I think much heavier? Car is 360whp now, hope for 700whp. Skinnies won't be driven on street. So what should I get - MTs, or some cheapish radial 165-R15?
Please advice

well some trips to track will be 200miles each way... But what's more important, pair of Kumhos is $110, pair of Morosos or MT is $260... Kumhos weigh 16lbs, MT ET Fronts - 12lbs
Has anyone had problems with radials, not daily-driving them? Weight rating is OK, but speed rating only 120mph (sustained speed)

Do you have a link to these? Maybe these are different than the kumhos I had. Most radials made in similar sizes are for a VW Beetle which is not fine for an f-body. I had mine inflated to the maximum psi recommended by the manufacturer and they still looked under inflated once the weight of the car was placed on them. I didn't feel comfortable running them so I switched to the Sportsmans. If these are in fact a different tire, then go for it.

Think those are the same everyone is using, Kumho Power Star 758, 165/80R15 87T (and 87 means 1201lbs per wheel)
