ET Streets have the best traction.. but they sway when making turns... BFG Drag Radials are probably the best choice if you drive a lot on the street too...

Is there a big difference in 60' times between each?

I agre with GrandsportC3. The ET streets have great traction, don't show wear but sway alot, They are full wrinkle walls. The BFG don't sway but wear quickly and after a few months on the street look worn. I really like the MT sprostman Pro's. Good price, nice tread, full wrinkle wall but don't sway as bad as the ET Streets and best of all don't squeal off the light, doesn't attract undo attention.
