Message Anybody really attempt to drive on these mushy dragstrip-ONLY tires on the street. They are considered "street" tires. But we all know they're not. I was out driving around last weekend with 30 psi air in them. And boosting around with 15 lbs was fine. It was my first time riding on them. And I didn't get any of those floating feeling that I've heard about. I guess it's because I had alot of air in them. And I couldn't go any faster than 60 mph on a deserted street.

But has anyone really driven long distances with them???

I have my 15" Volk rims with the ET streets mounted on the Z right now cause I thought I was gonna trailer to the show this weekend and race at E-town in the evening. But I'm only gonna do the show. And now I'm considering actually driving 220 miles round trip with them. Cause, I have a slow leak on one of my rear tires mounted on the SSR Comp's. And I'm not gonna have time to get it fixed before Sat morning.

I don't think I'm gonna chance it. I'm not that crazy. One surprise puddle of water..., game over! And I do still have my ugly old stock rear wheels. Guess I'll be slapping them on.

And for the helluvit:
