Good price, but azenis suck. I have owned both azenis and the old ones hooked better, but they tended to get too soft as they heated up. Also the wet traction was ZERO. The new ones aremore consistent and are way safer in the rain.

I have never ran BFGs, but a friend's car cut 1.9 on 225/50 15 BFG DRs.

Right now I'm rocking the Nitto 555's and they are way better than azenis.

yeah I chopped the right inside of mine from not doing an allingment right away when I replaced my tie rod end. Only drove about 100miles. I put the regular tires back on(I have extra wheels). But I cut a 2.018 60ft with them, also most of us are'nt making the type of numbers you are so for mild setups I think they should be fine. I have the top pic as well

I'm going with either the BFG's, possibly the Nitto55r. Micky Thompson ET streets look pretty nice though too....

i like those MT ET streets as well. i want a set for my TA's rear next year. they are a pretty penny and probally have no traction in the rain either. i also need a nice set of tires for next year.

---- i got 265/50-R15 on my TA all the way around. they are nice and wide, they rub in the front if i turn to tight. i want the biggest i can get on the TA's rear. since im going to be swapping in a 350-400 small block sometime next year, and possibly have twins on there, i think ima need some nice size tires to grab.
