Well my Hoosiers didn't fair so good tonight. Still the best I've used, took my car on its first test-drive with the 408 & 4R70W, no traction 'till I hit about 50mph... Was fun though Car definately has more snot than I thought it would with that big honkin' tranny behind it. Took my brother for a ride and first thing he said after I stuck it "I'm gonna have to put methanol injection on my car."

man i got tired of reading all the bickering.
street traction, stick with the nitto's. better than a street tire and get decent mileage for what the tire is.

if you want a track tire, stay away from 17's, you dont get enough sidewall.
et street radial for an auto.
et street bias ply for a stick.

the et street radials do great on the street, but they do wear quicker than the rest.
