I would love to run et streets all year, I don't drive the car in the winter so that's not a problem. Rain could be a problem, but I try to avoid that also. But the way it came out on this post, they just don't last. That's what I'm asking. See the post by NHRAFORMULA00. Also, look on the 2nd page of the post at Shamrock98TA's response. This is where I got this information.

Re: 16 & 17" M/T ET Streets!! E/T streets will last you easily 5k miles. A freind of mine drove around for about 3k in the summer daily on some he purchased more than half used.
For a true daily driver, stick to the drag radials. But for the occasional driver with a 12 bolt, this wouldnt be a bad idea. The *** end of the car wouldnt sway around like the 15-16" bias ply tires with 4X4 sidewalls.
