    i was running the lakewood 90/10s on my car for 3 years of primarily street driving. it was just fine. driving on drag suspension is driving on drag suspension. ive had 70/30s before and regretted not getting 90/10s

    Ya I know what you mean driving on drag suspension is driving on drag suspension my slapper bars thump on dips, I run Sportsman Pro bias ply tire they follow grooves in road won't be competing in any autocross but still fun to drive.
    My goal was to try and knock down the 60 foot times my best is a 1.93 I am a rookie at the track

    For a street car 90/10s on the front can be dangerous,it won`t corner well at all,it`s just how they were designed.
