Default BFG drag radial owners. Give me the low down.

I am interested in these tires, but don't know anybody with them. So I have some questions about them.

Street manners?
Mileage estimates?
Will they work in the corners at high speed?
Would they work for the occasional auto-cross event?
Wet weather?

My car is not a daily driver by any means. I do go the the 1320 from time to time, but I love to throw it in corners as fast as I can. Any opinions good or bad would be appreciated. Thanks

They are good all around tires. They don't like the rain(for obvious reasons) the mileage aint so hot either, but if it's not a DD they will last you a while. Keep a good amount of pressure and you can Auto X in them, or take 'em down to 12psi and drag race on them. I've seen quite a few people put them on all four corners. I've been using them for about 6 years now and i like em, but i'm gonna step up to the M/T dr's since they are better on the 1320.

I have had no problems with mine. I dont DD with them but do take it out on nice days when I can and have had no problems with hitting corners as hard as I want and no issues. Also worked good at the track.

Really like mine, they hook pretty good on the street once warmed up. The rearend feels just as stable around corners as it did with street tires.

they dont last long... and are shitty in wet weather.

I had a bald set of 315s and almost killed myself. I got a brand new set of 315 DRs and it was still shitty in the rain(maybe its just in my head after almost wrecking my car..it always feels the like the rear wants to go sideways, but now I only do about 35mph in the rain)
