e/t streets are in a whole nother class than the other listed... I wouldn't try driving w/ them in the rain, but w/ the nittos you could.

I agree the racemasters and the et streets are really not a drag radial. They are slicks with 5 tiny grooves in them. Would not want them on a daily driver. The BFG's are probably the best. Oh and BTW, you forgot Kumho's Ecsta V700 Competition.

im prob going with the nittos, im also gonna look into the kumhos because i have kumhos up front so i think it would be cool if i could have kumhos all around... but chances are ill go with the nittos... never heard anything bad about the nittos , only good things , and they are cheapest i think ... so im gonna have to say ur best off with those and ill bet a lot of people will tell u the same. u have to take price and life into consideration unless u have a money tree... the BFGs are expensive and they wear fast.... nittos seem to be the best all around... good traction, good price, good tread life(atleast for a D/R)

Their is no "best", unless your asking for a specific purpose. Pretty much the sticker tire you go to the less time its gonna last. I'd think the best all-around drag radial is Nitto, but they don't hook near as good as BFG's or MT's but last alot longer
