I'm running a 315/35/18 and love them. But I've never ran a M/T, so I can't compare. I got stuck in a rainstorm on the interstate, and wasn't afraid to keep driving. They have proven to be very sticky on dry roads.

Is that on your DD? Are you getting many miles out of them? I just order 345/40/17 and 275/17s hopefully they will last.

Proxes TQs Won't hook as well as a MT radial, but at your power level on the street they'd hook well. They didn't work well for me at the track at all. They're about equivalent to a BFG drag radial with better wet traction. I'd look into the Nitto NT05R for max hook, they're supposed to do as well in the rain as the original nitto 555Rs, but hook more like a MT radial.
