I have some TQ's on my vette at 670hp and they aren't holding to well at the track lol, on the street they do ok i can't dead hook 2nd or 3rd but treadwear is pretty good.

I have been using the Toyo TQ 315/35/18 for the past year, and this week went to the 305/35/18 Mickey Thompson ET Street II. I have not dropped the car off the jack stands yet, but will post my thoughts this weekend. Testing will be in the 750rwhp range before strapping it down to the dyno and tuning it a little higher.

Testing
I was going to go to the track this past Saturday night, but it did not work out, but if nothing happens, I plan to go this weekend.
We did some tuning Saturday on the street, and did not have much luck with the MT's holding the car very well. All pulls was from a 20 roll or a 60 roll. From a 20 we had to roll off into it, and could still easily break the tires loose from a 60 roll, but was very manageable. We never stopped and put heat in the tires, as we was mainly checking boost and A/F's. Car is set @ 15lbs right now.
A few months ago with the old motor and the Toyo's, I went a 6.51 at 113 mph (1/8th), I could not 60'. With the new motor, stall and MT's, I hope to blow that time out of the water.

My findings
Note,,,,,, not apples to apples seeing I built a new motor and changed the converter when installing the new Micky ET Street's, but here is where I am at.
I was on a 315-35-18 Toyo TQ that I could dead hook at the track with a bad (no stall) converter, (car went a 1.92 60' with a 1/8 mile 6.51 @ 113).
Now, with a 3200 stall, and the 305/35/18, I could not hook the car at all at the track. I even rolled it out 60 foot, and then leaned on it and still ripped the tires up. Also we did some street roll tuning last weekend, and the car will rip up the Mickeys from a 50 mph roll as well.
I am not directing anyone in either direction, I am just against the 18" tire all together now, I think my power level has tipped the 18" scale.
