Default Which drag radials do you prefer?

I have MT et streets currently. They seem a little too stickey for daily use and pick up EVERYTHING on the road...what would you guys reccomend for a car that is driven on nice days in the summer and a usually weekly trip to the track? what kind of mileage should i expect from each? also share your experiences with these tires...thanks guys

BFG's are perfect for what you are talking about. They are alot stickier than nittos, but not as sticky as mt's. I use them on my dd.

I voted for MT after seeing the title but a lot of my buddies run nitto's on the street and they seem to be a great cross between dr and street driving. personally I own the ET streets on extra wheels for track use only and they grab like no other.... before I was boosted all I could do was bog even launching it from 4500+...

MTs!!!!!!!!!!!

My buddies bfgs didnt last for **** and didnt hook as well as my MTs, my nittos were decent on the street with a burnout but didnt last that long...

The MTs are awesome...

I'm running MT ET STREET RADIALS.. just one step down from what you have and I like them.

Sticky enough for spirited launches, and at the track *if i knew how to use them* they're nice and sticky..

as for mileage,, ive got 12K or so on them, but im a ***** driver, yea, I admit it.
