MT/ET streets are good ONLY for drag racing! If you try to road race on these they will probably fall off of the rim! The have very flimmsy sidewalls thats why they hook up so good. Yes you will get results.

I have my eyes on BFGs because they have a little stiffer side wall and will actually allow you to do some road driving on them, I would say take it out to a curvy country road and see what she will do on them, but you can drive on them. I know a lot of guys with just LCA's on their TTA pulling 1.7 60' times on them. Though we get to launch with 10psi of boost when we have the drag rubber on the rims.

Kyle F! The BFG's DR are only good for about 3,000 miles! I know a lot of guys getting over 6,000 miles on Nitto's DR.
