Everyone I talked to says they like MT ET street but they don't do well in the rain.
I know someone running Nitto NT01 tire and they hook good.
BFG drag radials hook better according to some but don't last very long.
Nitto 555R last longer but they don't hook as good.
What I'm doing is driving daily with 555R's and swap them to MT ET streets on track days.

None on that T5. Wheel hop = death. Slick would be better/more forgiving.

IMO the M/T's are the shizznit!... ive had an have several sets of Nitto 555R's an they're OK, if your under 400 id say there good!... but the M/T's dont last very long on the street!

If a radial loses traction and wheel hops it is very unforgiving and will most likely brake something. Axles, trans, clutch, rear, etc.
