[thebestdj07]

99 cobra with p1sc2 9lbs. worn bfg dr's (315-35-17)

anywho. track prep sucked. but turned a 12.31 @118mph with 1.91 60ft.

if i got a good tire what kind of times would you guys think?

i was thinking of the toyo proxy tq or the et street II. about 100 bucks differance. but being my dd right now i need somthen for the rain also with out switching tires all the time. and no i dont like nittos so please dont say to get them.

et street 2 sucks. had 3 sets and all of them went out of round at about 1000 miles. And I only used them on the street. No track passes or burnouts. Get hoosier dr's. I got em and will never put another dr on my car. I have 2500 miles on em and they still have 3/4 life on em and I have made 5 or 6 passes on them. I can't speak for toyos. I heard they are really good in the rain though.

whats the info on the hoosiers, psi, burnout time? also have you drove them in the rain at all?

Sorry for the slow reply, med school is killing me. For sure do not drive in the rain. If you want a rain friendly DR, go with a nitto 555r or the toyo I hear is decent in the rain. But you will sacrifice the capabilities at the track for sure. The few passes I have made on the hoosiers, I didn't do a burn out except for once, just set em to 20 psi and cleaned em off and launched off idle, 60 ft. was 1.55 every time. The one time I did do a burn out, I set em at 18, did a short burn out, 2nd gear on the line lock for 5 seconds or so, launched at 2800 and she 60'ed 1.50.

So for rain purposes, I don't really know what to say, I personally won't drive in the rain on a DR. Since its your daily, I would try the Toyos. The ET street 2's are shit in the rain too. I heard the Nitto NT05R isn't "too bad" in the rain. Hope this helps.

Wow thats pretty good off idle. But yea i think im going to use the tq's 315/35/17 as the main tires and get a set of 15's with either hoosier or m & h. Tks for the info
