The thing that makes it unappealing to me is that I run the wheels and tires I run at the strip with on the street. This is why I usually run the DOT or street classes when they have them. I can also run heavy eliminator or any other slick class because my car dead hooks on my street tires. I personally have no interest in running radial tires. I've run sportsman pro MT tires for years and they've always worked well for me.
