they are completely different tires the e/t street is a bias ply, the drag radial is obviously a radial. The streets will wrinkle the radials wont. I have always used the e/t street radial on the street or track and has always worked very well for me. There are guys that go 8's on that tire so its just fine for me.

I'm going to be using M/T ET Streets tonight at the track for the first time and I'll let you know how they feel. I have not used the ET Street radials. Keep in mind the non-radials are like 9 pounds lighter each. Thats like 70-90 pounds of static weight difference when you convert rotating to static weight.

^ yeah but if you drive them on the street you'll like the radials much better ! and there much more stable at speed ...if your going to run a et street you might as well run a et drag and get the most out of it

Well I took my car out to the track with M/T ET Fronts aired to 32 PSI and ET Street Non-radials aired to 20 PSI. I can say that the 70 mile trip to the track wasn't anything to be worried about. I had absolutely no swaying or anything like that on the freeway and at the track, the car felt secure even at the top end. I didn't have to air the tires down at all since the track was hooking pretty damned good.
