I have had the same "street" tire question for about a year now. Like yours, mine is just plain dangerous in 2nd gear and takes the fun out of a spirited run up in 2nd because you just never know when it's going to let go.

After a lot of discussion, I'm about to put a set of Nitto NT01s on the car. The tech guys say the compound is the same as their best street offering and won't get hot enough to throw rocks, but will hook quickly if stressed. Discount Tire will do the first heat cycle on heated rollers for $20 a tire and that's a critical step to get the cross linking set right up front. No wet weather driving.....ever. Never rains in California, at least now when I plan on being out.

I want the same tire look front and rear and think I just got worn out looking and trying to decide.

Comments or experience are certainly welcome. Shoot, I guess that means I'm still considering.
