Re: M/T Sportsman S/R

meh I roll on 325 M/T DOT street's in all conditions. I'm accustomed to being called crazy but I have about 12k miles on them as a street tire, inflated to about 36psi. I put them on while I was getting new rears mounted, but ended up running em for like 3 years now.

In the dry they are great; in the moist, still pretty great. In the wet...well you just shouldn't have the truck out in the wet....but I have and it's just fine as long as you know your vehicle. Sudden turns/stops feel a bit like snow if the oilly film is on the road.

I have really good front brakes and all season front tires, which helps. The reality is with nearly 500hp and no traction devices, having a soft and wide tire minimizes "accidental" squealing and....it just looks cool. In my case 15" DOT streets are actually CHEAPER than many regular 17" tires...so my cult of 15" drag tires grows slowly.
