Default et streets... on the street

how many miles will et streets last on a summer only daily driver, car is my DD from May-August and sees the track 2-3 times a summer?

also will this be ok to run with my aluminum spacer at the track? i shouldnt break anything on a hard launch right?

I'll guess 6,000-8,000 miles of semi spirited driving

I've heard 6-10k depending on the driver, I have 1k miles on mine (et drag radials) with about 8 passes on them and they still look new. I keep mine on a spare set of rims for the track and occasional street use.

Anyone have any feed back of the bias ply on the street? for a weekend car? Will they hook better when cold then a m/t drag radial? Its hard to do a burnout on short notice!

everything i have seen from the bias ply et street is that it doesnt last as long, and hooks exactly the same as the radial

Ill disagree here..they hook a hell of a lot better than the radials. I have 28x13.5s on my car and Iv pulled the tires at the track, on the street..with the Radials the car wont 60ft at all..track or street..Radials are more fun to play around on..but I lose races on radials!!

I drive my car a lot with the bias plys...just like any racing tire..dont be dumb and watch out for rain. I dont pay attention to mileage or life..its a racing tire..thats what they were made for..You want life..get Nittos..You want Traction..MTs..

Thing is with a solid burnout I can get enough traction too hook from 50ish...as long as its on concrete but once i cruise and the tires cool.. nothing spins to 100. This is a 17 m/t radial

I'm thinking with a 15 inch 10.5 et street i can hook while just cruising and no burnout because of the larger side wall and design of a bias ply? I could be wrong but, it's worth a try. Can't have fun with a car that spins all the time.
