ET Street Tire Problems
Last season I made about 6 passes on my 17' ET streets. Went to the track today and I couldn't get the tires to hook, hell they barely made any smoke during my burnout. I was pulling 1.7-1.8 60 foot compared to 1.5 last season. I drove to the track a few times(1 hr each way), can you mess up the tires so they do not hook?? If so can I fix it?? thanks

It was probably just poor track preparation,but soft compound tire do tend to get harder after a number of heat cycles.And how you store your tires over the winter can make a difference too.
