Well I had the power to carry through. If you read more in the forums you will see that people opinions were the bfg dr hooked better on the street and that's what I was after because I rarely went to the track. And the couple times I did go to the track it was late in the season and was cold, and also to mention I was running a 275/40/17 which won't flex much. There's other factors also like my car wasn't a 100% track car, so my suspension didn't flex like it should have, Not trying to hijack the thread just stating my opnion and expirence like he asked

I run a 275/50/15 on mine and they hook awesome on the street with a 5 spd. And that is with normal air pressure and no sway on turns. I'm happy. BFG's by the way.

I have went through 3 sets of Nitto's when my car was a daily driver. 3 sets got me 33,000 miles (11k each).
