Default MT ET Street Radials

http://store.summitracing.com/defaul....asp&x=41&y=17

ive searched and didnt find to much info. all i hear is people using bfg and nitto dr's. has anybody used these, and if so how are they.

im looking into getting a new set of rims and tires when i get me tax returns back and i would like to go with a drag radial, i think im leaning towards nitto because they are better for everyday driving, but i hear both good and bad things about them.

if anbody has those MT's from above, how are they for everyday driving, (if you even use them everyday) i think ill be going to the track quite a bit this year and i drive about 12 miles to work and back each day, so im not sure if these would be ok for me or if i should just go with nittos.

thanks in advance

i figured they would be good for the track, but how do you think they would be for everyday driving. i just dont think they will be good on a dd car, can somebody tell me otherwise.

i have 4k miles on mine so far and they are touching the wear wear indicators. i think without burnouts they're good for 6k miles or more. i live really close to work so a pair will last me two years. had i lived more than 5 miles away from home forget about it.

they hook very well on the track and the street. they do wear alot quicker than nittos, but traction is no comparison. i have a set of 275/45/17s with 90% tread left for sale. i will take 340 shipped if your interested.

Default M/Ts

let's put it this way...I can air them down and launch at 3500 and bring the front tires off the ground w/ these street radials. They do wear fast, but I've got 9 1/4 mile runs and 200 street miles and they don't look worn much yet.

they sound like they might be a little to good for my stock 10 bolt m6 car. i would like something practical to drive one, so i think it might be nittos for me
