I currently have a set of M/T Sportsman Pros on my car, which I drive all the
time, 80mph on the interstate, etc, etc. They are relatively streetable, with
fairly stiff sidewalls. However, I'm to the point that I need some more bite.
Are ET Streets or Hoosier Quick Time Pros as drivable as the Sportsman Pros?

TIA,
RSR

 

Yes. There are plenty of guys around here running Hoosiers and ET Street daily. But they will wear out quicker, but you can do it.DOT approved.

I have M/T ET streets on my car. You can drive them on the street but they do wear out faster. You also have to be very careful in the rain. I wouldn't recommend them for a daily driver but if you just drive the car once in awhile and don't take any long trips then they are ok.

ET streets suck on the beltway or in the rain. The sidewalls are almost non existant
I would not recommend ET streets for daily drivers.. I would stick with Nittos or BF Goodrich Drag radials if running every day.

ET streets are great to be able to drive to the track and run some times..Or run someone on the street, but they wear fast and handle like crap daily driven. !!!

I have a set of Quick Time Pros that I drive back and forth to the track with. They are ok, I cruise 75 on the highway but I wouldnt use them for everyday use.

I use Nittos for Daily use and they ROCK.
