M/T ET Streets are real good, but I would say for a daily driver you should look into the drag radials, when the ET wear down you cant ride in bad weather.

i have 235/60-15 (26x9.50) ET Street Radials..my car 60's pretty consistent 1.80's..its a 3500lb convertible launching at 3000rpms with a stock 5spd and a trac loc thats on its way out with 3.55's in the rear...they're sticky..

the bias ply ET streets are said to be even stickier,but i wouldnt drive them on the street..especially if it rains..

ive tried BFG drag radials..they suck compared to the M/T's..
