Well, you could get some D.O.T approved slicks...
But they will prob wear out fast if you drive it much.

If you are going to be doing any driving, get DRs. No reason to get tickets for illegal tire tred while just driving downt he street. Well I don't know the laws by you, but in Illinois you need tred http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/smile.gif

Its not illegal tire tread if its Department of Transportation approved. These will give you much better traction than DR. But if you plan on doing much driving on the road I do agree that DR will be better.

I just put a pair of Nitto 555R DRs on this afternoon. $329 mounted and balanced. They sure seem to hook a LOT better than my Yokohamas - I was getting 2.2 60 foot times with those my only time out at the track. I'm trying to get some people to head up to Famoso this Friday night to try these out.
