Time to replace my DRs. I have Mickey Street ET R 305/45/17s. They treated me pretty good. I kind of like the Hoosier DR2 but they only come in 26"? What kind of issues will that cause me?

Anything? Probably going to order something today.

If you’re an automatic the difference in height might cause your car to not shift right and the ABS / stabilitrak might not be too happy. I have no experience with hoosiers but I do really like my ET Street R’s and once I’ve used up my set I’ll be buying another set of the same tire

Thanks. I'm an auto. Currently have the ET Rs but they're done already between driving on the street and track not even 5 months. I like them too but just checking options.

Go with tires you have you know how they act when they are good just get another set of rear rims so you dont have to street em unless going to track the tires are soft and no matter the slick or dr it will not last long with a lot of street miles

I already have wheels just for the track. I just didn't swap them back out since the mickeys hooked so well on the street. I knew they'd wear out faster but not this quick. Already seeing cords. Live and learn right?
