Yea, I here good things about them, I don't know for sure if they are better than the new style BFG DR, but not worse.

Those M/Ts will deffinatly help you out. I'm cutting consistant 1.55-1.65s at street night with no track prep. Getting 10-15K out of them is probrably not going to happen. I have like 12 or 15 passes on mine along with about 1,000 street miles or so and I'm at the wear bars already. I like doing a hell of a burnout though, that's half the fun.

I have 37 runs on my BFG and leave them on all the time. I really can't tell any wear yet. I do medium burnouts. They do like to be hot though, as I get my best 60' when hot lapping.

yes, the M/T ET Street will hook up the best for a DOT approved tire. However, they are a no no in the rain, and living in WA I choose the BFG's for that reason.
