I have searched and found some stuff but want to see what current setups are running..... I am looking for something that will hook on the street. Might go to the track a couple times but not often. I am curious if anyone is Running the MT ET Street in the 19"? Also for anyone running a street tire what have you had good results with? Again I understand there alot better options dropping Rim size but I'm not looking to swap out tire/rims whenever I want traction, just looking to get something that will bite with the current Rims on the car and drive it!

I have the re-11s on the rear right now, stock size. They hook well considering Im putting done 527 to the wheels.

Good to know...... I have heard some good feedback on the RE-11's and the Hankook Evo's.....I am still curious though if Guys are running the MT ET streets on the stock 19" Rim..... I am sure that tire will have the best traction and I want to buy something that is not going to spin. Where did you get your tires from and how much?

I ordered mine from discount tire, best price and free shipping. Can't go wrong. About 340 a tire iirc

Mickey thompson drag radials might be too much for a street tire. Some nitto or bfg drag radials would be a little more street friendly.

RE-11's are a kick-*** tire. They do everything VERY well, except tire wear rating.

I had them on my 335i, M3, and G37. I only wish they made them in Z06 sizes

The Hankook Ventus V12's are about 250ish a tire right now for a 305....... Seems like a pretty good deal.... Anyone have feedback on these?

You don't want MT in rain.

Hankook Ventus V12 would be my recommended choice.

The hankook in a 305 is really the best all around tire out there in the 19".

How do you go from wanting mickey thompsons to some hankook ventus?

Its called giving up some dry traction to be able to drive your car in any weather which I do. I am looking for actual opinions from owners who are running both so I can weigh the pros and cons.... do you run one of these tires?

The stock goodyears hook fine for me on the street. I use kumho xs for track days and they're about the same in a straight line. I used to run nitto 555r drag radials on my mustang and those were great all around tires. Good in the rain, lasted a while, and excellent ride quality

I would love to get the nitto 555R but I don't think they make them in a 305/19

What size exactly?

I run the KDW2's with good results. They cant hold 500rwhp in the winter of course but in warmer temps they hold pretty well. Tread life is great.

Exactly ;why I ditched the MT 19's and went to 305 Pilot super sports. I gave up some dry traction for a tire that is great all around.

If you can wait a week or two I will PM you or post here my impressions of the Bridgestone RE-11's, my new set is sitting in my garage and will be installed this Thursday. I purchased them in stock size and went with them due the countless great reviews for wet and dry weather conditions and all types of driving styles.

My current tires are Nitto Invos which held up well till my last round of mods.
I am putting down 503 to the tires now and absolutely punishing the Nitto's from anything below a soft hit in 3rd gear.

Stay tuned..
