If you are going to be running these on the street, you may want to look into Nitto's. They will last a good bit longer than the MT's but will not provide the same traction.

MT is best for money

Hoosiers are pretty badass, just saw a guy cut a 1.57 on 255's

The problem is though that he is going to be driving these on the street. Not only will they last half as long as Nitto's, but they will not get your anywhere in the rain.
