Message	IMO, if you want a good performer in straight line grip, but you still want to be able to have nice cornering grip, don't go for a Drag radial (not really nicest street setup for a well-handling car either). Personally I would go with any tire that is just below an R-Compound, ie: "Ultra-High Performance Street Tire", what I use is Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Spec, and before that the Nitto NT-05. Both great tires with a ton of grip, excellent on the track as well. Next, I am looking to try the Kumho XS! __________ Version 3.01
