MT ET Street Radials lasted me 8,000 miles, and I babied the **** out of them. The cords were showing when removed.
Sumitomo HTRZ's have lasted me 25K miles and counting, they've still got easily 50% tread left.
Yes, the drag radials hook. No, the street tires dont. Surprise!

I know I can't vouch for their life first hand, I ordered mine and they aren't here yet. And BAD99TA is right, they are 160, not 100, my bad 
And that's great to hear that they have lasted you that long too. I am still expecting my front tires to last a lot longer than these Sumitomos though. I will be running those Nitto NT555's up front. I just can't spend so much on tires when the time comes around. My last car had the GS-D3 315/35/17 on the rear and those things were huge! But the price difference between one of those and these Sumitomos is what made me buy them to experiment with. 
they smoke alot and are loud as hell when they're losin traction, which isnt good for when you're tryin to be discreet while holdin a 2nd gear burnout in the middle of broad daylight

I have them on my '99 (the Smurf).
Ditto the post about "20K miles and only halfway worn down". Seem like a pretty good treadwear rating, although I forgot what it is actually. My '99 was a DD before I got my truck and I very rarely drove the car hard.
Ditto the post saying they are loud when you spin them. Yeah, they really scream in protest when you are boiling them.
