Default track tires

Looking for input about BF Goodrich G Force drag radials or Mickey Thompson ET streets. The M.T.'s are more expensive...are they worth it though? I'm just looking for a tire to throw on the car only when I take it to the track, and no I do not want an all out slick.

I would go the MT ET streets, and not the MT ET Street Radials. I love the Et Street Radials, but think I would have been better of with the ET streets

Get some Mickey Thompson sportsman pros. Theyre a street tire and have way more bite than those other 2. Youll smoke your clutch before you break those loose. My friend bought a couple, we threw em on and he tried to roast em (tires were cold), and it smoked his clutch,LOL! He was in a '93 LX 5.0 had a cam, exhaust.

I GOT THE GOOD YEAR EAGLE F1 Z RATED WOULDNT TRADE THEM FOR ANY. I GET ALMOST THE SAME TRACTION IN THE RAIN AS THE DRY(DRY OF COARSE BETTER) BUT IN THE RAIN THEY ARE GREAT DONT HAVE TO SLOW DOWN MUCH. THEY ARE EXPENSIVE BUT WELL WORTH IT.
