Default Goodyear billboards; let’s kick this dead horse one more time!

One more time kicking the Goodyear horse. I’ve just about got myself convinced to get the Goodyear billboards on looks alone. The ones I'm looking at are from Summit and run about 280.00 each in the R655 compound, they are Goodyear Blue Streak cobra tires. I’ve spent entirely too much time searching this sight for Goodyear info, and it’s kind of overwhelming. I’ve read about the DOT argument, the driving in the rain argument, the vintage racing argument, the 17” argument, and so on and so on. I don’t care about the DOT thing, as for the rain, I’ve ran ET drag slicks and moroso front runners on the street, M/T wrinkle wall sportsman pro’s, M and H, Pro-trac, BFG T/A’s (couldn’t get traction if you nailed them to the road).

What I want to know is if these tires will get good dry traction, and how would they compare to say a BFG drag radial or M/T drag radial in 325/50-15 vs. 26.5X10-15. I’m mainly going to be street driving, but I do have 550hp.

What do you guys think?
