Default How are ET Streets on the street?

I want to get some 15" wheels but for tires I don't know if I want to get Nitto drag radials or get some ET Streets or Hoosier QTPs. Is there anything to worry about driving them on the street cuz I noticed on the Hoosiers site it said not to drive them on the street cuz they can suddenly loose air pressure or you could loose control or somthin and I don't wanna get them if that's the case. How many people on here drive with ET Streets like everyday cuz that's probably what I'd be doing. I guess I'd get 28" if I went the slick route. Thanks for the help
Chris

They suck on the street. It's do-able if you are careful and it isn't going to rain. Wouldn't want them on there 24/7.

I run 26 x 11.5 x 15's and skinnies on the sreet full time Car doesn't go out in the rain, but haven't had a problem on dry roads.

The key is : AWARENESS

ET Streets, Hoosier QTP DOT's, and BFG DR's are all terrible in the rain.

I'd reccomend Nitto DR's for 24-7 and highway use.

I have driven ET Streets on the highway but say goodbye to high speed handling.
