you clean em off by doing a small dry burnout.

M/T all the way for DR's. but if your going to buy another set or wheels id get some M/T slicks.

That is the stupidest thing I think I have ever read on this site. A M/T Drag Radial will out hook a nitto any day of the week.

Best tire currently made for racing and street use IMO.

Switching from ET streets bias ply on a 15 inch rim 26 x 10.5 to ET street radials 275/40/17 made the car 5/10ths faster in the quarter even with significantly heavier wheels.

how many miles do you get from the MT street radials?

Daily driven without a spool and being easy 10k.

Daily driven with a spool 6k.

Track driven only 2-3 years and over 50 passes.

I agree. With the Street Radials I have cut 1.31 short times with the 275/50/15's and probably better with the 275/60/15's if I can get the front tires to trip the beam.

I am in no means trying to brag but only showing you what can be done with these tires. All of our cars have true stock suspension with after market control arms and usually one ring cut off the factory springs. Very low budget suspension for the times we are getting.

I've seen mickeys bite the dust with 1500-2000 miles with some frequent use. They suck johnson in the rain though. My buddies ta was allways a pleasure to ride in rainstorms on nittos goosing it even.

Basically if you have a penis, you want the M/Ts and if you are unsure of your sexuality, and or have a vagina, nittos are for you.

True story... hatch if you want to go 12.90s on your set up, go buy mickey t's. I'd buy some slicks but thats me. I have mickey t's for my car, but I've never used em on the car. Their for after the build.
