I must add, I usually do street racing, occasional strip racing. Usually asphalt when im on the street. My et streets do well i spin a little but only when n20 hits. Its a "good" spin though Im still scooting right along. From a dig I do okay.

1-Question for people that have ACTUALLY HAD EXPERIENCE WITH BOTH street s/s and street R what have you noticed good or bad on street or strip with the two models of M/T drag radials from a dry road and strip.
I have heard the following.
Street R is better performance street and strip but S/S is a better all around tire if you intend on leaving them on the car.
