Default a couple questions about the new MT ET Street radials

Im about to get some new tires for the Bogarts and i was wondering about the new MT ET Street radials. Do they hook up as good as the ET Streets? Also, do they deflate over a week or two like the ET Streets do?

On my car, the Radials hooked better than the standard bias ply tire.

While we're on the subject, I am reading that some M6 guys have blown their 12 Bolts launching from this tire.

I guess it REALLY does hook!

Will us auto's have to worry about blowing our rears? I'm thinking about getting a set and ditching my et streets. Is that a good idea?

Amen brother.

It sounds like these tires have already some 12 bolts.

Automatic guys have less to worry about.

Are you guys talking about the MT drag radials? If so what size tire and rim? I heard the 275/40/17's weren't out yet due to some design problems.

I saw you use a Two Step with this tire. Pls. tell me how this combo works: psi in tires/burnout/launch rpms...

Thanks. I know we all need to dial in the numbers according to conditions and car setup, but I am looking for a "baseline" model.

Thanks.

Will 15" rims fit on our cars without grinding, the extra wall height as it wrinkles gives a better contact patch.
