I can be going 70MPH on the highway,and get sideway's to 120MPH
NO TRACTION like a MT drag radial.
If your looking for something to last longer than a drag radial,they will do that.
I'm going with the M&H next!

I dont want a DR since im doing a ls1 into my 73 vette im going to be driving it all the time and want the tires to last. Are your happy with them driving wise?
I've over 3000 miles on the SR's(with about half the rubber left),where as a drag radial would have been showing wire thru the rubber at 2500/3000 miles (depending on how many track runs you do).
I am out of state now(work) but can shoot a pic' for you when i get back home.
They (SR's) have a pretty wild thread pattern too.
They are mounted on 15x10's

No problems driving on the street/highway (actually drive very decent 55/75mph,hardly no road noise) Very Good street manners.I just prefer something a little stickier.Thats the trade off thou with drag radials (Low milage tires).

Well what iam thinking is that as of right now i have 4-255/60/15 which is suppose to be 27.01 inches tall of those 4 only 2 are good, but i measured 26.5, maybe cuz they are not new??? But a new 295/50/15 suppose to be 26.8 tall. I think i might place the 255/60/15 in the front ans buy 2 new 295/50/15 for the rear. hopefully they will be taller...

why do u have to have such a tall tire? If u run that combo your rear tires will be shorter then the fronts! you would be better with a 275/60 What wheels u running ans what size?
Reg Street tire sizes
295/50r15 = 26.6x11.6 little shorter but much wider
255/60r15 = 27.05x10.04 real skinny!
275/60r15 = 27.99x 10.83 little taller and wider

dang...I got well over 10k miles out of my nitto drag radials so far and they still have a minor amount of tread
I wish they made drag radials in a 295/50 though, 275/50 are too narrow and 325/50 are too damn tall

I love the look of 295/50s! But i will have some he new M/T DR 295/55R15 28X12.50R15 on my next set. No more normal street tires for me 
I had a easy 6k miles on my SR's and still looked damn good! I spin the tires a lot too. i would say with normal driving they would last around 10k-20k. People think because they are a MT tire that they r a race tire and they r not. It a normal street tire! its a little softer compound so they wont last a long as most other tires but they are a little better for traction then normal tires but nothing like a DR. lol i paid 200$ for both my 295/50 allseason rear tire and have no problems at all hooking up from a roll! Its all in suspension. Those SR's r not worth the $$$$$$$$
