You can drive the ET Front's on the street......but if they have "Not for Highway Use" on the sidewall.....be prepared for some trouble if stopped by your local law enforcement and they decide to do a " vehicle safety inspection". The Sportsman Front's(what I have on my Camaro) are DOT approved:yes::hurray:.

I ran the Sportsmans on the street when I had my Nova for years. I never had any problems!

I have been running the Mickey Thompsons for some time now....great tire! Track arrow straight and has great tread pattern....I dont drive in the rain so cant give you a report on the wet stuff.
