Slick/Radial tire opinions

Im a little up in the air about which tire to go wit on my car. just wanted to get some opinions from experienced guys here.

car is going to see mostly street use, not dd, and an occasional track visit. im up in the air between the hoosier qtp's and the M/T et street radials. I know the radials will last longer but a couple friends are weary about the side wall stiffness and breaking drivetrain parts.

oh and its a 15 inch wheel setup

thank you in advance guys

How much power are you making and how serious are you when it comes to racing. Why not just have a set of QTPs for the track and just a nice sticky tire for the streets.

If your not much of a track guy I'd go with the Mickey Thompson et's. The sidewall is still huge and Designed to absorb drivetrain shock, not inflict it. Look at all the guys running 7-8-9sec passes on radials..granted most are rwd but still they have to hook don't they? Just my .02
