I agree, and thats what I am doing, but I wanted to see what are my opinions just in case these don't last as long as I think :P

On another note...its going to rain here for the next 3 days, so its going to be miserable

no offence but your no where near having enough power to where the car is so touchy you can not get traction....

Think you just need to learn how to control your gas pedal lol, theres plenty of guys on here running 600hp + and ya they have traction issues when they get on it but I dont see them shaking there heads saying I can not hook up when I just want to drive.....

10,000 out of Nittos, 5,000 out of the others if you are lucky.

Drag radials on a true daily driver is a bad idea. They are barely street legal and suck *** on wet roads. 65mph in the rain is not going to happen for long with drag radials. Of course any really wide tire is going to be a hydroplaning nightmare.
