Do they makes a DOT approved drag radial that will also corner well
Basically looking for something sticky on the street I drive my car for 5-7k miles a year, need them to last maybe say 15k miles

BF Goodrich used to make the Comp TA Drag Radial...not sure if it's still available or not. thats my suggestion. the tread depth is only about 2 32nd's i think, but if you're only driving the car 5K every year, the Drag Radials would be nice.

Another vote for the 555RII. Same compound (and tread pattern) as the drag radial but stiffer sidewalls. I had actually considered those a while back before I had ever bought my Nitto DR's. Heard guys actually cut 1.7x 60ft times with them (in A4's).
