Message First of all, if you search for "arthur" on general forum, you'll find some stuff/input on what others think about it and what to run...

I got the BFGoodrich drag radials 275/40/17's and I'm now driving on them daily. I actually drove 800 miles on them last weekend.
Traction from stop and straight line is great!
Corner handling is not so good but good enough under normal driving conditions in the city.
On the freeway (high speed) not too good but possible ( I wouldn't recomand it unless its short burst of time). I felt the ass end of the Z dance a little bit but as long as you got them pumped up, 65 - 85 mph is just fine.
In the rain, I'm not sure but I've been told its not so good.

Another good choice that others recommanded are the Nitto 555R drag radials.
Reason why I went with the BFGoodrich is that they are much better/stickier tire on the track and I'm planning on doing some of that this year.

Hope this helps out.
