Much more stable and consistent traction. But the MT is probably the best tire there is for the a street legal tire at the track. Just do a water burnout to clean the balled up rubber off and get some heat in them...then they will grab.

Not that I questioned you, but you are completely correct, so far as I can tell.
Now that I think I know what to look for, I think I'll be good to go. Leaving tire marks on the driveway won't make the wifey happy though, lol...
