Default Street life/mileage of MT ET street tires?

I'm sure there are some guys on here that are running the MT et street tires on a DD/weekend warrior. I'm considering doing this cause my power level severely limits traction w/street tires. Those that are driving them 99% on the street speak up and tell me what kind of mileage you get out of a set w/moderate driving habits. Also are the sidewalls soft or firm? Thanks in advance.

i have 17" mt drag radials and love them. got a few thousand miles now but havent went through a set yet. the sidewalls are pretty soft for a 275/40/17. i let the air down to about 13-14 psi and they squat pretty good.

If you're putting more than 30 miles on it a week you wouldn't want the et streets. Otherwise look into the et street radials.

Yes I'm asking about the ET street radials. In specific the 345/35/18s that are coming out in august w/R2 compound. I will put ~6000 street miles on her per year. Hopefully I can squeeze that much out of a set.

i have the mt street radials, 255/45/16. ive had them for about 5 months, maybe 2k miles on them there maybe 30% left, i go to the track atleast every other weekend so they see probably 10-20 passes a month thats why there not lasting very long lol. they are very soft, and if you plan on driving over 100 miles a month and frequent the track then i would get some nitto drags in my opinion.
