Default E/T Streets -v- E/T Drags


Do E/T Streets and E/T Drags have similar handling characteristics?

Would the same amount of air (ie, 14 PSI) give the same performance with E/T Drags?

The E/T Streets were 26/10.5/15 and the E/T Drags are 28/9/15.

Check out GMHTP magazine's old article in '98. It is the issue where they tested a brand new '98 Z28, and has the NBM car on the cover.

Bottom line: similar sized ET Streets actually gave a lower (better) 60' time than ET Drags in their test.

Forgot to add: both are a little dangerous on the highway. They handle like you would expect a non-radial tire to handle. If you make a sudden lane change, your rear end will fell like its making the lane change 3 times.
