I think this is the statement of the day.

Nothing effects the performance of a car more than tires. Any rally racer will tell you that proper tire selection makes the difference between 1st and DNF.

A drag radial is not designed for long distance highway trips. It isn't designed for that kind of heat and those road conditions. If you get a little moisture, look out. Can you do it? Sure, if you're lucky you can get away with it. But I don't depend on luck.

If you want the car to perform well, choose the tires to match the conditions that you'll be driving in.
