Just wondering. Maybe I can get some street tire mayhem tips and drop my ET some more.

Why don't you stick atleast drag radial on and be done with it? I am sure with my set up I'd go 12's with a street tire for my mods. I haven't been on a street tire since my factory Eagles came off for a drag radial and that was 3 yrs ago.

Well, first of all, I wanted to increase my skill as a driver. Running mid 12s on a street tire is no small feat with less than 400 hp. I wanted to break into the 12s on street tires, then I wanted to see how deep I could get. Mostly so when other cars are on street tires, I can spank that ***. Nice trap speed for a 212/218 by the way .

I hear ya on wanting to see just how low. As for traction, Nitto's are all that I run on the back of my car.

It's got some nice MPH for such a small cam. It's actually trapped 116-117 before ET'd 11.91-11.92 in Feb this year with my Boyfriend driving it. I am getting there, slowly but surely.

At this point, I think until I get a rear I am SOL. Maybe I could drop down to 12.2s . I ran the 12.4 on a busted *** transmission. Right now I could probably throw Procharger or a 100 shot on and still run 12.3s at like 120mph .

I ran 12.7 @ 111 on Goodyear F1's.

I ran a 12.65 @ 111.9x on Goodyear Eagle GS-C's at 30+ psi and a short burnout. I also ran a 12.66 @ 111.5x on a different day at a different track. The 12.65 was a 1.90 60 ft and the 12.66 was a 1.93 60 ft. I'd like to claim it was all driver skill but the car has a stock clutch that slipped just the right amount to keep it from bogging on the stock 3.42 gears. Had the weather been better on the day I made the 12.65 pass I would have been 12.5x easy. It was a 70 deg. day with 95+ % humidity at Norwalk, OH (~800 ft?). Not sure what DA that works out to.

I ran 12.62 at 109 on 245/50/16 nitto 450's.... Its fairly easy to launch and not spin to bad with an A4.... I footbraked it to right at 1400 then eased my way into the throttle, still spun some but much better than on gas/off gas/on gas...

My best times on street tires on in the sig. Im still trying to figure out the trap speed....

I ran a 12.85 @ 114.31 w/2.331 60' on Goodyear GS-D3s with 45psi in them. My car was in full street trim on this run at Commerce.

Track prep is the key to getting any grip on street tires. I couldn't run better than a 13.1 in the right lane but ran a 12.8, 12.9 and 13.0 in the left lane.

The only thing you will increase is your frustration. I run high 11's with drag radials and mid-low 12's with 18" Micheline Pilots on a 2.0 60-ft. What an exercise in futility that was. The problem with street tires is inconsistency; one run will be good the next, not so good. Shoot for 1.90 60 fts, but expect 2.0-2.3's realistically. Depending on your mods, you will be leaving alot on the table by running street tires at the track. A general 60-ft rule of thumb is .10/ 60ft = .15 decrease in your 1/4 mi ET.

12.74@112.3 here, on goodyear F-1s, Ditto about the clutch slipping just enough to get traction also. I think when the new one goes in I will have to start all over. Tires were at 19 psi

12.10@115 1.83 60' on falkens

Yeah, I should start www.chirpfourth.com .

I have run a 12.775 at 114.38 on cheap cheap 245 50 16's. Street tires suck.

I ran a 12.51 on dunlop S5000 tires. I used to have BF Goodwrench G-Force TA KDs on the car and they grip like a drag radial.

12's arent too difficult with street tires. Some people have gotten into 11's on street tires with cam and bolt ons. My car generally runs mid 12's at 115 on regular radials.
