Default Drag Radials

Is it a bad idea to run them everyday? I only live 5 miles from work. If we go anywhere far we take the wife's ride. I am looking at the new ET Streets 295/45/17.

Not A Bad Thing At All A Few Friends Use Them On There Daily Drivers. Great Traction, But Dont Last As Long Is The Only Drawback. I Say Go For It

I'm sure it does. It's bad enough with good street tires.

I was told they were a "little" better but it is still a DR. So probably not much difference lol

I don't have any experiance with the MT's but I am currently running the Nitto 305/45/18 on my truck. So far the have been better on wet roads than my worn 295 Nittos were however they are still fairly new (~3000 miles). I havn't driven thru any down pours with alot of standing water yet though.
