My rear tires need to be replaced, and I would like recommendations for a good street tire that would help at the drag strip as well.
Having trouble keeping it straight when shifting, especially using nitrous. Very squirrely.
Thanks.

My Gen4 on 345/35/18 MT's was awesome.

Is that a street tire too?
I drive on the street 99%
Race 1%
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it

DOT approved. A lot of people have different definitions of a "street tire" I daily drove on them if the weather was nice.

Ryan is selling his Nitto drag radials.

A couple folks have been happy with the Pirelli Corsas. It's been reported that they have very similar grip to the MPSC's on the track when warm and are much better at lower temperatures. Their treadwear would indicate that they are going to be much better than the PS2, Supersports, or Invo's. With the current pricing for VOA members, I don't think you can go wrong and it is a true radial, not a drag radial.

Thanks all.
It looks like I'm leaning toward the Pirelli P ZERO.
I do not track this car, so CORSA would be overkill.
I ocassionally strip & street race and need more grip.
The Pierilli discount brings the cost down close, but not lower, to Nitto INVO HP.
Thanks, again.
