M/Ts are certainly a great choice for most cars.

I use Nitto NT01s and have them heat cycled by the distributor and let them rest at least a week so they can form the best polymer links before you put them on. They are really a road race tire.

Sticks like fungus and rides great at about 18 to 20 psi. Not an "original" look at all, but very aggressive tread pattern, if you can call it a tread pattern.
Wear looks to be really good so far, about 3,000 street miles and can't see any wear yet.

They hold a 525 rear wheel HP, small block extremely well. Took the 2nd gear run up surprises out of it completely.
