Neither one of these is suitable on the street. Wet traction SUCKS with drag radials. Buy MTs for traction, and street tires for the street... it's a lot cheaper than the bodywork you may need after the first time you get caught in the rain.

well i will probably just keep the wheels/tires i have on now for daily driving and have the other wheels/MT's because i have a group of mustangs asses i have lined up to bust (more on that later). soon enough the camaro wont be my daily driver. im fixing to pick up an old dodge K-car to drive to work. so im not too too worried about the wet traction, its a 15 minute drive to work anyway. and if im going to the track (1.5 hours away) im trailering the car there. i dont want to compromise and traction for based on wet drivability. the tires i have now kick absolute *** in the rain. on these 19's (i know i have nothing near the rwhp now that i will have but) i can hook harder in the rain than i did at the local 8th mile drag strip after a big smokey burnout.

i just talked to my friend that works at a tire shop about what i should get, she gave me an awesome break down (i run nitto 555 dr's right now) but she told me someone had the MT drag radials and they created flat spots within the first week because they were so hard (using them on the street) and they were so rigid they actually vibrated the windows out of the tracks in his car. now if you are looking for strip racing only tires, these are the **** to get! but if you are running around on the street, i HIGHLY reccomend the Nittos (even tho they dont leave any marks whatsoever for burnouts, DAMN!) and if you get the MT's make SURE you have a good driveshaft, they snapped 3 stock driveshafts in an article i read using the MT's!

I used to use my nitto rag radials (17" 315s) for my daily driving and then toss on the et drags (28.5 x 10.5) for the track.

if you run MTs on the sreet daily theyll prolly last 1 oil change. and DRs are scary in the rain sure they work but if you go from them to some gsd3s its insane how good the gsd3s perform in the rain. if you gona go to the track i would go with mt to get you there and back other wise go with nittos.
