Those look sick I love how those tires look, I had them on my 99 for a while before I sold it. They'll be fine on highways, just be careful in the rain. I got stuck in the rain on them once and had to drive like 30 in a 50 zone so I wouldn't hydroplane. Theres no tread to those things and they wear out quick too. They sure don't take any time to get hot though at the track!

I had them on my Mustang and was very happy with them. I didn't drive the car a lot so I can't comment on wear. I did get caught in a little bit of rain once. I just drove very slow and I was fine. I certainly wouldn't try to do 50 MPH in the rain and not expect to be wrapped around a tree.

But for the dry, I think they did great!

had Hossier DR's on my SS 10 spokes and I did have one **** up on the highway. They were pretty worn though, and it wasnt a blow out, just went down really fast. They hooked OK, but not great, my MT's are better.

Most people say they hook better then the MT's... Is your car a 6 speed or a auto?

There will not a be single issue driving them back and forth to the strip. I sued them last year and its a 35 min drive for me to the strip. Just watch the tread wear and watch for the weather. Other than that your fine.

I had 335/30/17's hoosier dr's on the back of my 04 cobra and with 666rwtq they still hooked in 2nd! They don't have a very good tire life but what serious tire does. I never had mine in the rain but just the thought of that would have me scared.
