I'm confused.

What am I missing?
Even though they are both marketed as DOT drag radials the MT looked much more serious and I didn't know how appropriate that may be for a street car. From my limited experience I would think MT would be geared more towards the track....that thing looks like a slick with some stripes in it. It's mentioned R2 compound but does not give a tread wear indicator. Do you have any experience with running drag radials on the front as well?
