Default M/T ET street or M/T DR

on a 16" rim, will the drag radial hook as good?

I have a set of 26x11.5-16's right now, will the drag radials give me the same results?


Thanks
Andrew

I know you can cut a nice 60' with some ET Drags, hot and sticky

Its hard to say. Some people say that the DRs are the best and some swear by the ETs. I have heard that the DRs do much better then the ETs at high speeds. I bought the DRs on a 325x50x15 that I will be testing out myself soon

No doubt about it! They might even hook better! Can also drive them to the track and dont have to worry about top end sway.

I just ordered some 275/50/15s to replace my ET streets (11.5x26x15). We'll see...

My 275/50/15 MT drag radials hook just as good (maybe even better) than my old ET streets. They also feel MUCH more stable on the big end.

I'm using Centerline Warrior 15x10s with the maximum BS they offer. I think it was 6.5". Somebody correct me if my "sometimers" is kicking in...

Oh, you mean like someone keeps asking you about a hood getting painted? Dont you work with him?
I posted in Sponsor section for Bogart GP.
You dont want to run ET Drags? If between the DR and Streets, I would go DR, fat, sticky DRs!

Im running MT dr's on my stock rims (16). They can handle alot more then what I got. Planning a bigger converter now. I never had ET street's but the DR's work great except for trying to get the rubber off my rear quarter panel's after the races.. PITA.. I'll try the WD40 trick next time.

I started showing cord on my ET streets last weekend, so I ordered up at set of MT DR's to replace them. I hope to run at Cecil on the 4th of Dec, but they are NHRA, so if I am too fast I'll get booted

I'll let you know how it goes!

Booted out of Cecil? Come on, I've seen guys go 10s at 140 on bikes with shorts and T-shirts there. Tech at that place is all but nonexistant. And I love it

I have a friend that cuts 1.46-1.49 short times on Nitto DRs on stock 02' Z28 wheels. We were wondering the other day if he could pick up some time on ET streets?
