Default ET Street SS vs 555R

Wonder how this new tire will do against the Nitto?
I know it should hook up a lot better but as far as the regular driving part of it light rain and so on. Hmmm

I hope these new "SS" tires don't take a step back from the soon to be defunct ET Street radials. Looks like they added some more tread grooves, which will help with wet roads.

I just didn't like his description of the purpose of the SS tires as if you "just want to mess around" at a test n tune. Sounds like he thinks people that would use them on the street would be fine with 1.7 60's and "also ran" status.

I hope the ET Street R comes in a 275/50/15 radial.

They don't even have a release date yet. Based on how long it took for their first drag radial to actually hit the streets, it could easily be 6 months.

M/T did not have a booth but had a few guys around. I did not connect with any of them.

I'll try to get a list from one of their online guys or find out when they are updating the website.

I realize this is an old thread, but I was wondering if anyone had any feedback on the ET Street SS? I am thinking about getting a set before I go to Holley LS Fest. How well do they wear on the street? How are they in wet weather driving conditions?

I only have track experience with them and can say they hook VERY good.
