From just reg. street driving you can't really notice a diff. but i have yet to test them at the drag strip.

Thanks for all the comments.....but please remember these are technically not a what i consider a "slick".

People often times confuse them for full on slicks due to there shape, compound, and the fact that the sidewalls do wrinkle a bit.......but they are technically dot approved for highway driving similar to a MT ET street bias-ply tire

I just picked up a vid cam last Thur so vids to come but unfortunately it's supposed to be a scorhcer even for CA this week and our closest track is 2 hrs. away and in the heat of Sacramento.

is going with the ET streets necessary for this setup? seems to me like its more of a "cosmetic" mod...I mean what do these do that even drag radials can't in a AWD vehicle? I would understand the need of ET streets with that much HP on a RWD car but a AWD...seems overdone to me...and I come from 600HP RWD vehicle experience...I am not trying to be a dick or anything so please don't take it the wrong way...but have you tried drag radials with your current mods? I am just curious if you have upgraded anyother parts related to the suspension and or the drivetrain...man...WHEN you hook with those things I hope you don't break anything...On a side note...looks "tough" for sure...definately not an import I'd want to mess with ;-)

ya, evo's are meant to corner, and i wouldnt want to try to corner with those sloppy side walls.

whats wrong with a decent street tire that gives good grip in the corners without folding over and enough straight grip to get traction in 2nd gear.

EDIT : oops, forgot to say, CAR LOOKS SICK BTW. props. lets get some numbers... and maybe some more info on it, im sure every1 is interested in EVERYthing about such a nice car

cars look sick!

Just searching for hoosiers and found this.

Question:

1. Is this 15's or 16's rims?

2. Do you have coilovers? I wonder if this will fit with my swift springs?

3. What's your best 60 ft on this tires so far?

4. What psi in F/R?

WOW back from the d-e-a-d lol.

Thanks for the compliments fellas.

26 x 15" Hoosier QTP's

Stock struts w/ Tein S tech springs

Consistant 1.5's w/ the best being 1.52 pressure fluctuates depending on track conditions but all the tires i've run have been between 13-20 psi

The car is run on E-85 only and has made roughly 575 on our MD
