Thats pretty much the ballpark, just depends on how much work you want to do to save $10-$20 a tire

Hey Guys!

With the mods below I'm having SERIOUS traction problems on the street, even without the 100 shot of nitrous.

I was wondering if the DR's can be used in daily driving.

I usually only drive in good weather since I have such bad night/ rain vision and I only drive about 5 miles to and from my high school, then a few miles to my office.

Thanks,
Tony

Roughly 10K, but You can't beat the traction for the street though.

Yea it does suck, but that's the price you pay for performance.
