You have to be very specific when talking about M/T's tires b/c of the way they have them named. Very easy to get them confused and there are a lot of differences in these tires.

BradH...I still have a set of the old style 295-65 ET Street radials on mine. Think they are 5+ years old and they still hook great. Bought them 2nd hand and threw em in the garage until I needed them. I'll be trying the ET Street S/S 295-65 when I wear these out. I've heard the same as you, that the new ones aren't as good, but I'll have to see myself.
Everyone around here runs the 275-60 ET Street radial Pro on anything that's fast, but I hate the way they look on my car.
