Default Your experiences with MT ET Streets

I've been hunting around and reading as many reviews as possible. But I figured I would leave it up to you guys for the information I'm seeking most.
Mainly just your thoughts on the tire (if you've used one). How many miles did these tires last you, how many trips to the track & burnouts did you do (aprox).
What motor/ tranny setup were you running at the time. And lastly, would you run these again, or consider changing to a BFG DOT Drag Radial 1/2?

See signature below for my motor setup. This car will NOT be my daily driver, but it will see about 30 miles a week around town if I were to throw out a number. I will make afew trips to the track this year, and my car will be hauled up on a trailer.

I was hoping to run 275/60/15's
I have my quad shocks removed & also have aftermarket Control arms.
I appreciate your input, thank you much!
And if you care to see any videos of my car take a look in that forum, I just posted.

Im currently running BFG Drag T/A's I have had them for 3 seasons with a few good burnouts on them and i absolutley love them. I have never used any other drag style tire so my opinios is not the best you will get but thats my 2 cents.

I recently bought a used set. The seller said they have unbeleivable stick at the track, and good street manners. Just don't get caught in the rain. I haven't had a chance to run them yet, this is just what I was told.

I run a set of MT Drag Radials 255/60/15, 27" tall. I couldn't ask for a better tire. It dead hooks at the track and still drives around on the street like a regular radial tire should. I don't know about rain because I don't drive my car in the rain, but I'm sure they will have alot better manners in the wet conditions versus the ET Street

ET streets not too good in the rain, but excellent at the track!

I plan to buy a set of weld prostars, does anyone know what size tire will fit under the back of a SN95 with no rubbing issues? I want them to be BIG and CHUBBY but no rubbing.
