Same problem here with my rt-215s... 20k miles of life is pretty good out of these tires. But they spin pretty easily and mine got pretty hard after 2yrs. Aside from breaking loose under acceleration they still do have good overall "handling" on the street. I dont know what drag radials are like but I'm about to find out soon

Oh yea, if you want "decent handling" for the STREET, there are tons of tires to choose from that are in the same ballpark if you ask me so dont get too picky

yea azenis handle great but under accell i roast them like regular streets. I funny to watch as the burnout porgesses the color of the tread goes from light gray to black to chunks of rubber on the ground. that was the only 1 burnout ive done my backs still have the azenis etched in but the fronts are 1/4 off the wear bar. 7k on them

Falkens suck overall. They grip like ----, hydroplane, and dry rot super fast. I have a set of Kelly Chargers that grip better and have lasted longer. They grip better on 11psi than my Ziex's did on a stock motor.

my dunlop direzza dz101's don't owe me anything, i got em off tire rack for 42 bucks a piece (they were over stocked), and i think i got at least 15K out of them (plus being boosted and beating the ---- out of them). I'm thinking i'll get the T1R's next since the RE-01R potenza's are on national backorder in my size.
