MT ET Streets
If everything works out, I will be picking up my new Comp Yellow LT4! The owner has a set of MT ET Streets with GS wheels that he is willing to sell at a reasonable price.
These are the DOT legal tires and I'm debating purchasing them. Are they usable on the street? How long will they actually last?
I've never owned a set and am just curious. If they are usable, then I might pick them up with the car.
Thanks!!

yes you can run them on the street. but i wouldnt drive on them everyday, get another pair of rims and mount them on that. i have used et streets before. i mounted them on a spare set of rims and put them on when i was going to the track, drove out to the track with em on raced with them and drove home then took them off. i have since upgraded to full slicks, and i change them at the track works much better.

No. They are made of very soft compound, which is why they work so well at the track. I have read that in normal use, they will wear out in about 5,000 miles. I will drive mine to the track if there is NO chance of rain, but otherwise, I'll throw them in the back and change at the track.

Are they worth paying for if I never use the car on the track?
I was driving home from the track with BFGs, hit a water puddle at around 50mph and nearly swapped ends...
