When I ran my AMX S/P car, I tried just about everything but what I really liked about the bias MT's was I could run them until the holes disappeared before the car slowed down, 200 plus runs. Never tried radials, ran 14 x32's as we didn't have any size restrictions. Stiff sidewalls would not work on my car, the car was too light.

Mickey Thompson, and because of numerous good reviews and they seem like a good balance of fast, forgiving and last longer than a normal radial. i know there probably not as fast as a regular radial and not as forgiving as a bias ply but i'll take a little more forgiving than a normal radial and a little faster than bias ply.
