I've driven on quite a few DR's and I will say that the MT street DR's have been the bes dry traction tire I've had on there. Second would be the NT05R's and then the 555R's. Traction wear or mileage is directly inverse of that with the 555R's lasting about 16K, the NT's about 12K and the MT's about 9K. I just put a set of the Street SS's on my car hoping to get a little better wet traction but I'm not holding my breath. I have another build going now and this car is going to see more street duty so I thought the little extra tread might help. We'll see.
