Luck with street tires at the track?

Just wondering if anyone has had luck with there 60ft times at the track NOT running drag radials. I'm not thrilled with the idea of always having to switch rims/tires every time I want to go to the track. I can't run Nitto 555r's on the street all the time. I was thinking some Kuhmo MX's. Anyone with some decent 60ft times on some good street tires please respond.

Thanks

Adam

Check sig, thats with 3.23's, stock converter, and goodyear F1 GSD3's. I pulled the 60' in the sig, a 1.929, and a 1.950, so its not a 1 hit wonder.

Thats the kind of help I'm lookin for. I've been giving some thought to those tires as well. 1.9 is exceptable for me.

I also have the GS D3s and my two best 60fts so far are 1.94 and 1.95, also a 3.23 A4 car. I only have one mod on it, the SLP 2OTL catback. I bet with more power I could get a better 60ft, as I'm not even close to spinning these tires when the traction at my local strip is perfect.

1.99 on street tires. I did lower the PSI to about 26 which helped go from 2.6 to 1.99-2.1.
1.95 with a higher stall, same PSI.

The best I was able to do last year on street tires (not drag radials) is 2.25-2.35, I guess I really suck if there are people able to cut 2.0's
