Guys running ET Streets...

I plan on picking a set up for the Iroc. It will see mostly weekend touring, maybe a trip to work now and then. long enough 1 hour drives. Just wondering how these things are for 'regular' driving. I know that they'll wear out real quick, but other than that, hows the driving feel?

they are bias ply so they feel real "mushy" specially going round turns and stuff. don't ever run them in the rain.

i drive around on the streets around here on them sometimes and besides them not lasting very long they're fine as long as you're not on the highway doing 80 or ever get caught in the rain. also remember that these are not road racing tires and you'll be fine as long as you're smart about it.

Street ET's were designed to throw on the car before you go to the track, race, drive home, change tires. they were NOT designed for any kind of "regular" driving.
