Default Need halp deciding on a set of tires!

Now let me just start off by saying... I have chosen these tires for a reason, don't go overboard with recommending all kinds of whacky *** tires.

Moving on... I need a 26" tall slick or DR that will fit on an 8" wheel... and it HAS TO BE D.O.T approved.

Here are the three that I have chosen. I am up for suggestions, just don't be retarded about it.

Way to post your tire thread in the tech section.

Now, that being said, I ran 26" Hoosiers dr's on my prostars w/ great success. Lasted quite a while too. I know it's not one of your choices, but a damn good tire. As you can see in my sig, I'va also had good luck w/ ET drags in the same size. Although I'm not sure if they are dot approved.

I run Mickey Street ET's and like them but I can't really compare them to the others since they are all I have run.
