Hmm...ET Street bias or radials? Just ordered some drivetrain stuff for my Z06 (Centerforce DF clutch, flywheel, hardened shaft, DTE trans brace) and I want to get some sticky tires for it so I can run some real times (best so far is a 12.10 at 120 
). Still have factory 3.42 gears. I drive at least 80 miles to get to the nearest track, and I have to drive there on whatever tires I race on.
I have 16x8 '98 Camaro wheels to mount the tires on.
Probably going with the ET Street Radials in 255/50-16. But, I could be tempted by the 26x11.50-16 ET Street bias-plies if they would work better and not drive like crap on the street with 'street' pressure.
Or, maybe the new Hoosier 255/50-16 drag radials would work well?
Opinions?

I've used both. I currently run MT325 radials and love them but it's on a FBOD. For a Vette, use the bias MT's...it will save the rear differential on a Vette. Vettes seem to wheel hop more on radials.......

FWIW, MT says not to run DR's with a M6. Read this thread.
