Re: Which tire?

I have 17's, but I'll tell ya anyway LOL. I have Mickey Thompson Street Comps 275/40 and 315/35 (my rears are 10.5"0. They are a summer performance tire. They are okay, maybe decent for the price. As far as street traction, they are nice, good in the rain and corners. Drag strip traction is not so good IMO, especially for being a 315. They reason I won't go with summer tires for my next set is because I'll drive spring/summer/fall too. Where I'm located, it is often below the ideal temp outside for summer tires and they are understandably horrible under ~45°. I will get some all season performance tires and buy a set of tires for my extra set of 17x9's to go to the drag strip with. I just don't think the summer tires perform that much better than a good all season performance tire.
