Ill give a vote for the M/T ET street radial. I have the non radials, and unless you REALLY heat them up they dont stick. i was going kinda light on them because i didnt wanna have my car towed home, but next time ill see how well they stick.

Here are the tread styles:

BFGs 275/40/17


Hoosier 275/40/17


Let me know which you'd run if you were in my place.
we can get you mickey thompson, bfg and hoosier, let us know, personally i would run the 275 40 17 et street radials

just go with the M&H drs. only 2 people told me they suck when they first came out but as time goes on more and more people are telling me they dead hook and are really good. IMO in my book a drag radial would be one you can drive every day including rain with the exception of added caution that is.

hoosier and MT's old tread would suck in the rain. they even say for use in dry conditions only. just get the M&H dr or BF new tread dr and call it a day.


oh yeah and i run the 275/35/18 bf's and they do ok but my next dr is going to be the M&H 275/45/18.
