how well do they hold up for say 140mile back and forth trips?? Does the tread wear really fast on a cold road?

I just dont want to have to take them off for every trip to the supermarket and etc while drag racing is still in its prime weather <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

what PSI is best for street use also?

18-20?

highgmc

my car is always on et streets and skinnies. I run 18psi in the et streets. they wear perfect then.

id put them on and leave them on for a while. it only sucks when you go back to regular tires <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> but id drive an hour and a half to the track and back and then drive around for a couple weeks with them on. wear- well, you can figure that out <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> the harder you push them the quicker they will wear. for a drag tire they lasted a decent amount of time though. i got full slicks so i wont be doing that anymore <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

I got 12,000 miles out of my E.T. Streets and I ran them hard. Street racing, many passes at the track. I still have a little left on them. They probably would have gone 13,000 miles, but one kept leaking air, so I bought some new ones. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

i tired 28 in mine and the first turn I went around scared the hell outta me. After that I got use to it, but im gonna have to raise the PSI a little. Maybe 30-35 would work... i jut dont wanna burn the center out with that high PSI on the street

I drive regularly on them at 18-20psi they've lasted 6000miles so far (inculdes street driving and racing) they still got life left

I've been running ET Streets and ET Fronts for quite some time. Many trips back and forth from San Antonio to Houston and from San Antonio to Austin. No issues with excessive wear. I do drive slow though.

hell, i havent put 2-3k miles on mine in a year <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />

in my case they would last me about 3-4 years or street driving LOL <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

if they last 3k on the street thats pretty good to me. 6-10 is just a added bonus <img border="0" alt="[chug]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_chug.gif" />

thanks for the info everyone

I've been paranoid about leaving them on between track visits. Hell if they last THAT long on the street, they may stay on permanently.

I put mine at 25-26 psi for the highway.

They will harden with a lot of street driving I have been told.

I would drive to US41 on mine and then race.

If I got caught in heavy rain I would drive 25-30mph.

this is really interesting honestly. but anywhere near the rain (and us florida peeps know it rains like a mother there), and no good.

this is particualarly interesting considering teh BFG does not get many miles out of them either. now i know they are much better of a tire on teh highway, but still.....if you can get even more miles than the BFG, why bother?
