Default Anyone running Goodyear SS drag radial?

My ET Street Radials are about done. I was going to get the 325/50/15 ET Street Radials, but the Goodyears caught my eye. I looked at them at the LSX Shootout and they have a super soft sidewall, but I haven't seen anybody running them. Does anyone here have any experience with them?? They're only like $200 a tire so I may just buy a pair of each just in case.

I can see that with the soft *** sidewall. Which hoosiers are you recommending? I don't run street tires anymore so I need to at least be able to go 35 in the rain lol

MT radial for anything that needs to be able to drive in florida rain. I love mine. had them for years. Hoosier is a race radial not good for florida rain. can't go wrong with any size 275 or 295. any that fit. 20 psi down the track and stable as a caddy.
