I have a set of SR's in storage, they were ok but I didn't really like them. They didn't do so well in the corners for me. I then went to Hoosier billboards which griped great but didn't balance well. In the end they wern't right for me either, and they; like goodyear bilboards & G-7's are not DOT approved. I like the looks of the ET radials & the fact that some above, like them all the way around for strip use & corners as well. Even with some road dampness. With the lighter AC weight; they may make good all around use. In the twisties, they mabe as good as the SR's or S/T's. In the end I went with the S/T's. While I only have about 400 miles on them. I am quite pleased with them, for comfort & overall handling. Performing a laymen's ck of the rubber compund of both SR's & S/T's I think the S/T's are softer. But that could be because the SR's have 4000+ mi. & the S/T's have 400+ miles. IMO the S/T's perform much better overall of the two. I will know for sure when the S/T's have 4000+ miles. If they make it that far! The S/T's are also only rated for about 110+ mph for 1 hour. But for quick romps up to 140/150 mph or some simi hard twisties they perform great. So far! I'll report back after 1000 mi. or so.
