I agree with the F5R's. I have been using their upper/lower combination for a few years now and am very pleased with their all-around performance.

I concur, the FFR's are good pieces.

I taking it Nitto's aren't great at all for traction, i'm seeing non-DR class street meats hooking better than they do. I've managing high 1.90's now finally in street trim w/ Kumho ECSTA MX's and traction is awful to non-exisitent on mine w/ the stiff H&R SS springs/ poly-bushens/ Steeda upper adj./ stock lowers/ stock springs.

Throw on the drag slicks though and she sails 1.65-67 60fts.

In my experience, they work VERY good on the street, but only moderately good at the track. Also, after about 9,000 miles on them, they lose a good bit of their street tractions, and around 14,000 miles, they plain suck.

It's an excellent sticky street tire with decent tread life... but not good if you are frequenting the track a lot.

I agree. I have to use the DR's on my car for everyday driving. I have cut 1.7's on the drag radials as well (back when I was in the 350 rwhp range)

1.42-.49 60fts... this is on ET Streets or a slick, 70/30 struts, 50/50 rear shocks, UPR lower control arms, steeda uppers...

Slicks usually destroy rearends and axles; I haven't seen a T-5 let go off the line or in 2nd gear. I'm not saying it won't happen, I'm just saying it's usually not caused just because slicks were in use.

Both time my T-5 went, it was 3rd gear and on street tires.
