Are you guys running the QTPs on the street? How do they wear and drive on the street?

thanks




I run them on the street. They do just fine, but if you get even the slightest hint of rain, PULL OVER...They really are just a drag slick with 2 super shallow groves in them.

I wouldnt want to run them in the rain. If you are looking for a decent tire in the rain I would go to a radial with some tread.

I've had lots of QTP's and never ran tubes in any of them. The last pair I bought are up to 64 passes at 13-15lbs(experimenting in the beginning on new car) and countless street miles with a spool. Still lots of life left in them.

I run tubes in my QTP's. I think they recommend tubes.





Ran tubes also.

I ran both tires on my old Duster and liked the QTP'S better. Ran 1.34 60 foot with them with leafs( 28 by 11.5) just liked the tubes as they seemed to stiffen up the tires for me some.
