Question Sportsman S/R Rears or ET Street Radial?

Next thing on the list for the S10 is to order my wheels/tires so I can figure out how much to narrow the Dana 60 and so on. I've done a little research and haven't found really anyone who's used the Sportsman S/R tires on the rear. Anyone have any input on these tires? The truck will be driven a lot on the street, and will see track use a bit. I wanna run something beefy in the back due to future plans with the motor, but it also looks nice having 15" wide rear tires. Unfortunately the largest ET Street Radial I can run that has the right diameter is 13.50 wide.

I'd like to run the 29x15R15 Sportsman S/Rs in the back. It's getting tubbed, 4-link, etc. to handle the rearend/tire setup.

Comments/photos/info is greatly apprecicated!

Track use = ET Street radial, between those two. But they'll wear fast and not handle rain very well.

yeah I'm still kinda split on what to do. I'm still leaning towards the sportsman s/r tires cuz they'll handle better on the street. I'll be using it a lot on the street and going to car shows etc.
