If you want one tire to do both, get the ET Streets. They hook up as good as a slick, but won't last as long as those rock hard sportsman pros on the street. Plus the ET Street is a much better looking tire.

But, I could only get about 1 season out of them. I plan to run them on the Dak when I blow through the slicks and street tires I currently have.
