Stay away from drag radials. They hold a lot of water while going through water box. Mickey Thompson E/T streets alllll the way. I've had them on my wagon for about a year now, no problems with traction. Only problem I had with them, was when I first got them... I mean they were BRAND new.. So they were a little slick. But the more and more I burnt them up, the stickier they got. I drive with them on while going to school, work, and the track - never know when you'll catch that occasional honda civic, or mustang on the road. Good luck!
