is it bad to ride with drag radials in the rain? i have the mickey thompson et streets and was hoping to get them mounted on my rims now but dont want to do it if its bad to drive on them in the rain

i would get another set of wheels for the track if your running Mt et streets, if you want a drag radial you can drive in the rain get nittos but they wont hook anywhere near as well as MT.

i was going to get slicks for the track and hopefully just use the mts for daily driving

I've had them all, the only ones that are okay in the rain are Nittos.

I've daily driven on BFG DR's for a long time, be careful and don't drive like a moron and you'll be fine.

I've drive in the rain on my 315/35/17 MTs and they're not that bad. I just would take long trips in the rain.

the radials arent bad in the rain. Now when you say ET Streets, do you accually mean the Radials because the ET Streets are a completely different story, like others said, dont drive like an idiot. Just remember to keep your speed down and easy around corners.

just be extra f'n careful and you'll be fine. oh, and be careful.

I drove home in the rain on m/t drag radials once, and the car was all over the place. A friend wrecked his car driving home in the rain on drag radials, going 30mph. Its your choice, good luck and hope you have full coverage & a tight seatbelt.

Nittos hardly count as a drag radial. My stock fuzion ZRi's hook harder.

on the et street radials the fastest you can safely go in the rain is aroun 40 or 50. anymore than that and you will be driving on ice

I have MT 275s mounted on stock wheels its not fun driving in rain, the car is all over place. Now, I dont even drive the car in the rain. If you plan dd with drag radials then get nittos.

I have BFG Drag radials and i've only driven in the rain once or twice, (ive only had my car for 4 or 5 months). From what i remember I was fine, but you just gotta be really careful. I've heard stories of people spinning out on highways with drag radials.
