drag radials

[shts_weak]

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

[Matts94Z28]

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.

Your going to do that with the nittos, mt all the way!

[KRYPTONITE]

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

[shts_weak]

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

[bwelch]

The new nitto hooks pretty good on the street but thats at around 450rwhp.

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.

[shts_weak]

definitely... i really wanna buy a set of weld alumastars but i dunno if i wanna fork out the $$$ since my ccw's hurt me pretty bad anyone wanna buy the ccw's? lol

[shts_weak]

ive done some looking and cobra/corvette owners are pointing to this for the best street tire? Toyo Proxes R888? ppl with 600+ are hooking with them
