Default ET streets vs MT drag radials??

Which is`"better" with a 700 + rwhp motor? Can you hook up with an A4 with the drag radials?

Thanks in advance.

If you had a choice between a 325/50 m/t radial, and say a 28x12.5 et street, and a 28x10.5 drag, which would you choose.. all ona 15x9.75 rim?

I have ran both and the Radial hooks up better for me, it dont take as much to heat it up and has alot more endurance for the street

28" et drag wins for most cars unless the combo is setup specifically for drag radials.

most likly that's what I will go with next year as soon as I find another set of welded r/t's to put them on, and I will screw them to the rim as well, to eliminate that as a possible problem. I am sure the qtp's moved a little bit... I'm gonna makr it next time out and see how much they are moving, hopefully it's not excessive.

ET Drags is the way to go. I love my 28 10.5 inch tire on the track.
