The Et streets are nice except for thier lifespan. I think youd be alright with a set of MT drag radials. Long as you know how to drive they will hook decent for you, and ull still be able to lite em up when you feel like it as well. Plus youll get a lil longer life out of them compared to the streets

i have had the mt et streets and the bfg drag radial the mt hook a little better and the bfg's also hook decent but the life span on either are very very short plus the bfg's look killer

I say either Nittos or the new MT Drag Radials....nasty tires, I had ET streets before those MT drag radials and like everyone said the ET's dont last long but hooked hard, havent got a chance to race with the drag radials but my buddy goes 8 sec. on his....sounds good to me right???

ya the nitto 555r drag radial will last the longest and my experience with them is none personal but with friends cars to get them to hook you have to lower the pressure and heat the up good or they wont hook no better than a regular street tire
