Very cool, but Nittos and ET Streets are not in the same categorry IMHO. I would drive in the rain in Nittos ( which I have for 4 years now ) whereas I wouldn't dream of it with ET Streets.

I believe they are just coming out this week so you won't
find anyone with "history". I plan on getting a set this
weekend to try on my C5.

They will defiently be a lot better for traction, but rain is bad with nittos, its downright dangerous w/ET STREETS....

What size wheel so you need for these? Will a 17 x 9.5 rim work or do you need a 17 x 11?

The M/T web site ( www.MICKEYTHOMPSONTIRES.COM) says that
a 9" wide wheel is standard. I am going with a 9-1/2" repo
C5 wheel.
