Sorry for the newbie question. Are the drag radials (MT Et Streets) that he uses street legal? If they are, Are there big negatives to be replacing our OEM with them i.e. tread wear is like 150 and they will last 2,000 miles? or they cost a fortune or they are not safe in the rain? etc...
If they hook up that good, it seems to be that we would all want to change to something like this as it seems to improve our 1/4 time quite a bit.

I havent seen and don't think anyone actually uses these tires as a daily street tire. It's only for track days....or, you can street race in them if that's your thing.

MT ET Streets are one of the best DRs they make. They are damn near a racing slick. They are not recommended for cold pavement or wet pavement.
Some DRs are a bit more street-friendly but they will never do well in the twisties. I ran a Nitto NT555R on my '03 Cobra (450RWHP/480RWTQ) in Portland, OR and never got into any trouble on the street. Surprisingly, they were pretty decent in the rain. I ran the same tire on my 11-second F-Body year round in South Florida. They were good enough for daily driving and a 1.69 60'
