Buddy of mine runs Nitto 555Rs on the rear regularly. I asked about those a long while back. His response was ~20K miles, and virtually no wet traction.

I drove around for a day with some MT ET streets - good traction in a straight line, but around corners or even quick lane changing was bad at times, such as passing someone on a slow road..at WOT. =X
These were of course, et streets.. there are some drag radials with actual 'tread' on them, like, groove patterns.. Look for those for a DD.

I run M&h Racemasters daily and i've got around 6-7000 on them with about 7000 more left on them from the looks of the tread. Yes drag radials suck *** in wet but these racemasters do better than most IMO. And yea going around corners is a bitch but thats why they're called DRAG radials they don't like curves.

I drove my lightning with the M/T et streets on the road and they were scary.
I would think you could run the 555r's on all four corners and do ok. But you aren't going to be able to add any heat into the front so they might end up spinning anyway unless you are doing a 4 wheel burnout in the burnout pit.
