325 mt drag radials.. I run them 24/7 rain or shine. I've put over 1000 miles on them in the past couple weeks.

I'm going to get MT drag radials next. I was worried about them wearing fast but I've had these Nittos for the past 4 years! And they still have plenty of life left.

If you're not an idiot with them they will easily last 7k miles.

I just wish they would make a 315 in a 15" version.

I think this turned from Stoppy putting some vids of his car running at the track to a Comedy Central Roast of Hihoe. lol. This has been awesome. Thread of the year by far.

Good luck Kevin with the car. Text me if you have any questions.

How do you like the ET Streets? I am trying to decide which tires I want to go with on my Racestar 15x10's. I was wanting to go with 275/60-15 Et Street Pro's(x275 tire), but have heard they are VERY harsh on the driveline.. and really don't want to break anything. Considering either Hoosier QTP's or Et Streets. I don't want to go with slicks, as I will probably be taking these wheels out on the street for some money stuff later when I do some more upgrades.

I will probably get another set of 15x10's for the track with slicks... becauseracecar.

But that is with approx. 15 track burnouts on them. They still grab pretty decent on the street, and still ride decent in the rain. Good tire for daily driving IMO.

I hated my QTP's.
Love the MT streets but my spool ate them in one summer jst drivin 2 days a week :-(

I need a balance of something that will last a few thousand miles and put 500 down at the track.

Nitto? Bfg? MT again?
