What are you looking for out of the tire? What's your setup and power level? I wouldn't use them at the track for a high hp M6 car, since the 17-18's will work better. But not a bad sleeper choice for the street on stock wheels or an auto that doesn't shock the drivetrain as much as the M6.

I have them on my car and they work fine. Hooked with 638 and hook with 676. Not too much track duty with them and I'm very certain some 17's or 18's would be a big upgrade but here in Louisiana with our crappy roads I don't have any issues hooking. I'm sure that will change once the weather cools off and the roads aren't as hot also. Your decision will be up to your use of the car. If you're a big track person get something smaller. You could always have a set of track wheels and street wheels.

I wouldnt say they were GREAT street tires.. I have them on my car pushing 650 and they hook great... they seem to trigger the ABS when slowing down sometimes... (which is scary if you REALLY need to slow down)
Also handling isnt as good as my re-11 street tires... but at least the traction is there!

I lasted a few weeks. Its not that they are crap. They are definitely an improvement, traction wise, from stock tires. The thing is, if they won't hook up well, which they wouldn't for me, then its not worth it to run a drag radial. I prefer my pilot super sport which also don't hook up, but handle well and are safe in the rain. For the track, definitely 17's.

Held 598 all motor HP to the wheels pretty good. I am sure I could have gotten 10.3 out of them had I ran another time or 2.

As others have mentioned, you really need two sets of rear tires if you want to experience all your car has to offer. For straight line from a dig, I use 295/45R17 Mickey T's (thanks Mark). Any other time and I'm on Hankook 305/30R19 with 265/35R18 fronts on stock size C6 rims. The Hankooks are fairly inexpensive, quiet, long lived, and capable when you need to take a curve. R888's are a better handling tire, but don't last near as long. They hook better than the Hankooks, but nowhere near as good as the Mickey T's.

LOVE mine. Car dead hooks at the track with 30psi in the tires from a standing start, but I beleive that to be the stock torque converter not letting the motor get into the meat of the power until the cars already moving along pretty good. On the street, they're hit/miss depending on road conditions.temp, etc.
