Default M&H cheater slicks vs ET Streets?

Looking to run a bias ply tire for the rear that I'm not gonna destroy driving on the street to and from the track, was wondering how these two compare to each other?

I run bias ply MT/ET streets on my stock 16" rims and they do just fine.
The car does not get driven much, but it does just fine when I do take it out.

I posted a similar question awhile back on here wanting a comparison as well. M@H has a solid reputation, but there doesn't seem to be many people on this forum using them. I'd like to try the 28x12.5x15 cheater slicks but wouldn't mind more input on them.

Do you run those with tubes? What pressure do you run with them on the street?

I like those 26x11.5R17 ET Streets because they're actually made to run tubeless. I also notice you're running an M6; what are your 60' times like on those tires?

I've heard that too, is that because people ran radial fronts with them?

I keep hearing this, but I myself have never had this happen, and I do run radial's up front.
I run 26psi on the street and do just fine. If I have to do a quick lane change on the freeway there is just the slightest bit of " wiggle ", but thats all.
I air down to about 18psi at the track and trap at 122+ w/o any swaying to speak of.
I am on a pretty much stock suspension as well.
