Default mt 17" bias et streets....

Good day

Would those running these tires post some of their 60" and 1/4 mile times and what wheel you are using?

also, are you using tubes or rim screws?

Happy Thanksgiving day to my friends in the U.S. and those abroad that are without their families.

also, are you using an aftermarket shock to hook up or just making it up later with the juice on?

I see some corvette guys running these tires. I myself have wondered how they would be? I have been thinking about just trying them next year.

no tubes or screws. I ran a 10.8 with a stock motor and a shot but only a 1.65 60 leaving around 2K. I am going to run them again when I go for 9s if I can ever find time to get back to the track.....

I'm ordering a set of 275/40/17 ET Streets for my G8.

I'll let you know how they work.

Ive got a set of 26x11.5x17 ET street and the only pass that I had with them, I left at 3500, side stepped the clutch, and it bogged so hard, it damn near killed the car..I couldn't run my next pass b/c I tore out my drivers' side strut mount on the return road,lol. They aren't that bad on the street either, just dont get caught in the rain with them, or a wet road..woah.

I had the same 26x11.5 also, they were borrowed so don't know about tubes but no rim screws. You could always mark the tire by the valve and see if the mark moves after a run or 2. My car bogged bad running motor only but when I shot the nitrous out of the hole it went 1.79 60ft.,12.66@106. Like said, don't drive them in the rain!

I had a drag setup for most of the time i had a car and I am happy to try the sleeper look for a while. The 60's sound promising.

I brought my 60' personal best down from 2.0 to a sweet
1.9 going from GS-D3s to ET Streets. Woo-hoo! 15, 20, 25
PSI, no help. Burnout, maybe too short but long enough to
put the black cheese all over the back quarters. 15PSI did
cost me MPH.

The 11.50 ET streets are only 9" wide. Should fit EASY on an 11" rim

Got mine today. They are sweet. Only difference i noticed from the 15" or 16" MT Streets was the firmer sidewall.
