Default 17" ET Streets

i've ET Street RADIALS and want some ET Streets. i noticed they come in 17" diameters now, Jeg's number 672-3743.

will they fit on my 17x9.5" C5 Z06 wheels? here's what Jeg's has on them:

Mickey Thompson ET Street Drag Tire
26'' x 11.5'' - 17''LT

672-3743

Tire Compound: M5
Tire Overall Diameter: 26.5''
Average Roll Out/
Circumference: 83''
Tire Tread Width: 9.5''
Tire Section Width: 11.1''
Wheel Diameter: 17''
Spec Wheel Width: 11''
Tire Weight: 23.0 lbs
Suggested Tube
Part Number: N/A Bias ply / Tubeless tire.


does the "Spec Wheel Width" mean i have to have a 11" wide wheel?

I think your PSI is going to depend a lot on your car. Me, I run 18psi in mine all the time.

the specs are the same as the ones in the first post.
That is the only 17" ET Street size that they make.

I just ran my car on those tires on friday. The track was crap. I had a bye run in the heads up class. Instead of doing a burnout I just pulled up there without anything, just strait up to the line. I did a 1.56 60ft without a burnout. I still have to get the suspension right, but I thought that was pretty good for no burnout. Last year when I ran the 1.47 60ft I had mostly stock suspension. The only thing I had was no front sway bar, Qa1 Rs up front, Qa1 275lb springs up front. edit: I forgot I had boxed LCAs. Thats all the suspesion I had. Now I have everything but a drag bar, but I have to get it set up so it will hook better.

They are tubless, they don't even make a tube that would fit them.

These tires are not radials, they are bias ply.

It would be just like comparing any other bias ply vs radial.
