As as follow up to my tire question and thanks for all the replies. Some good info in those.
Just as a question only........Anyone running Goodyear F1's DS-G3 in the 315/35/17 size and if so, how is the straight line traction in 2nd and 3rd? This car will NEVER see the track so these are crusing cold tire, street traction questions only.
My Backdraft came with F1's on the front (rears where changed out before I took over) and I suppose I could just match up the rears, if they are work well. Really don't care for the overall looks of the pattern, but thought I might ask. And yes, I know the price is a choker in that size.

Ditch the Sumi's.
Had them and they are like driving on ice.
Switched to the Kumho ECSTA XS 315's and they are much stickier.

Tires and traction
Just remember, the more traction you get, the greater the probability of snapping a half shaft. I snapped two with GY F1's. I also put Nitto NT-05's on the rear. They grip real well but don't last long. On the track I run NT-01's with great success. The car handles real well however the rearend will still pass you up in tight turns with too much gas. A very well know driving instructor once told me, "you dont need more horsepower, you need to learn how to drive".

Here are two examples of street use of drag radials standing start. Watch video Part 1 at about 40 seconds. There's a C5 Corvette on drag radials with a stroker twin turbo with a wet shot NOS system around 1000 HP. The other car near by has drag radials also.
