im torn between Nitto NT05R...M/T ET Street...Hooiser QTP...whats yall .02? sizes are 315/35/17 driven on the street

Since you do not take the car to the track often, but still DD it, I would go with the Nitto. The QTP and M/T will wear out too fast and be unsafe if you get caught in the rain.

There is a huge difference when i had them. I run the MT now and even at 600+ to the wheels they barely chirp in 2nd. I ran nittos right before i had the MT at the same power lvl i could just stand on the gas and go through 3 gears spinning. MT wont last as long...and dont bother trying to drive in the rain at all, but they hook like crazy on the street. I even prefer them on the street vs my MT et street slicks.

Don't go with the MT et streets. They suck all around. Never had good luck with them

ET streets is what tore up your car so they hook good...

[shts_weak]

Dont know if you missed anything. Im just saying ET Street RADIAL cause there is a big difference between ET Streets and ET Street Radials.

hoosier radials....they work better than mickeys

[Matts94Z28]

ET Street RADIAL will probably hook the best, but you won't get much out of them driving on the street a lot. It will still be dangerous in the rain as well.

I have heard good things about the NT05's. I know some of the ZO6 guys use them with luck.

Just my opinion of course.

[slowgreen99]

any good hooking tire will suck in rain, that's for sure. So youre best bet would be to have 2 sets of wheels and be done. Good tires on pretty/track days, and regular radials for the ugly days.
