Personally I hate the QTP - no traction - they are a semi slick - crap rubber

I prefer a drag radial over the QTP

The Hooiser slicks are no joke - they hook

Based on 'feel', the slicks only feel slightly softer. Sidewalls on the slicks are more flexible and according to the distributor I talked to, he said the compound was very close but not quite the same. Hope to get them mounted tomorrow.

I always loved the look of slicks on Evos and DSMs.

Need ... or want? Gotta have a set for each class/situation. You should see the street tires stacked up in the garage. I have a set of Winter Sport M3 Dunlops that we were going to use for winter driving on the car, but that's not happening now. 255/45 17's. Two extra sets for the Beetle. One of them is on 16" SSR Competitions. The Nitto 555R's on the car now, the QTP's on the 15's and now the new slicks. Wish I had another set of wheels to mount them on. Tomorrow I'll change out the QTP's.

I hear you've been working your butt off. If there's anything I can do, let me know. Anything I've got is yours. EXCEPT MY DAUGHTER!!! I'll be watching her like a hawk next weekend.

Oh crap. Thanks SloRice, that's just what I needed to read. Actually, she's really looking forward to going and seeing all of the cars. She called me yesterday to tell me that there was a Muscle Car show at the mall where she works. She even sneaked away to look at the cars. She used to steal my magazines every month and read them before I even knew they were delivered. Guess it runs in the family. She really needs the break right now. I haven't posted it on the threads, but her boyfriend and maybe future fiance was just killed in a motorcycle accident. About 10 days ago or so.
