Looking into a new set of wheels and tires for my RT. After a lot of research, I was able to narrow down between these two:
275/315 Continental Extreme Contact Sport 2:

275/305 Mickey Thompson Street Comp:

From what I was able conclude so far from researching the forum and other places online, it seems the Continental Sport 2 will have a better handling, while the MT will have better launch due to more soft walls. MT will wear slightly faster but are cheaper.
Assuming fitment is figured out and not a problem. No need to debate.
These are for daily driving, mix of dry and mild wet. No snow or heavy rain. I do not race in the streets, but I do occasionally go to an isolated farm road to do some 0-60 pulls, which is where I have some fun with it.
Please vote the one you think it's best for the scenario described.
Questions:
1. Does anybody have recent experience with them? How was it?
2. Do they grip well? Did they improved your 0-60?
3. How did they do in mild rain?
3. In the future, I plan to get some rear MT drag radials for track days, it seems they would pair well with the MT Street Comp in the front. Is that true? Or it wouldn't matter if Continentals are in the front? I do not plan to get the tiny front ones.
Pictures are also much appreciated!
Thank you!
