I would go full slick, the et streets 29-11.5-16 didn't hook worth a ***, that is with caltracs....

No but I still don't think they would hook worth a **** if I did... There was plenty of tread left on them, they wasn't hard.. Hoosiers FTW

C mon man you know what I mean. Well in may case the et's don't hook, you bully.. Did you hook on ET streets??? Brezy?
