Hoosier 245/45-17 drag radials
Pat was talking about me, I drove my DR's around from the Shop to my house and then to the track, I would definately say no to daily driving as they squiggle around even with 40psi in them(no sidewall support). At the track I start at 25psi and work down depending on traction available. As someone stated above unless your made of $100 bills and you don't mind the car feeling really vague in turns then have at it, its your ride!!

Ah thats nice. See the roads here in NJ...theye special. Theyve either just been freshly paved and are in decent shape, or you'd think you were driving down a bombed out road in Bosnia. Its really hit or miss lol.
im rocking them on the street, i have my pressure at 25. i love these things!
like everyone said, avoid taking turns fast and DEF no rain. my car never sees rain anyway, its just a weekend warrior/track *****.
i get a kick when stopped and lights and people look at me like "whoa, this guy means business"

Yea the QTP's do look/are bad ***. I did originally want the QTp's. I cant do em tho, dont wanna go thru the hassle of finding RX7 wheels to clear the stock calipers and run spacers for the whees and extended studs. Too much of a PITA imo. I already bought a set of stock wheels for the DR's.
On the SRT its easy to run QTPs. With the evo you have to get a smaller rim and only a few work with the brembos, you have to get spacers for the front or just remove the brembos all together. IMO the hoosiers are a quick way to upgade to a nice set of aftermarket wheels and keep your stockers to run the hoosiers at the track.

My car is graphite grey. I think it'll look really good, and very subtle. In person, they barely look green at all. If they turn out looking like poop on the car, Ill solve it by sanding them down and just painting them black lol.
I drove my car for about a month with these on. Total of 2 back to back trips to the track 110 miles each way. I wore them out more at the track than any other regular driving that I did.
I ran them close to 40 psi. Took corners like regular tires with no issues. The side wall gets stiff at higher psi. I drop them to 15 at the track to get some give on the sidewalls. I love shaking the car sideways to see how much they flex. Haha.
