ET Streets or MT Drag Radials Last year I was running the MT Drag Radial 235/60/15 and it hooked well even after the cam swap.
This winter a 3600 stall is going in and wonder if I should stay with a drag radial or move to a ET Street.
I have new wheels coming and was going to run the MT DR in a 255/50/16 with front runners.
From what I understand the radial tire is quicker as long as it hooks. I think I should be OK on a radial --just looking for experiences.

I tried both. The mt et street were old and worn out vs the mt et st radials but holy cow, those bias plys were scary as hell man! Thought I was gonna end up with my tail in the wall!
But since trying those 2 tires iv tried hoosier DRs and I like these the best.
I say def stick with the radial. My mph was always higher, seemed to be more consistant, and I never had a problem hooking. Radials FTW!

Bunch of sissies. I run slicks and don't feel the car is unstable or anything. You guys can't drive,my car pulls the front wheels and goes straight as hell.
If you go bias forget m/t. I had no luck with them. the M&H Racemaster out hooks them by far. I run the 26x11.5x15 cheeter slick. I have also used the 26x11.5x16 and they were great too even in the 16'' rim. People all run m/t because they are popular and they don't try and see if something works better. I have tried m/t,hoosier and the m&h. M&H Makes a drag radial too,I hear it's great but i never tried it.

hoosier 255x50x16 dr is what works for me. probably wont last as long as the mt but they do hook better imo and my 60ft times prove it 1.405 best n/a and 1.344 on a 100shot
