yeah i had a set of 27" et streets on the car and they worked pretty well when warmed up at the drag strip. i just seem to remember someone telling me that the car would run faster on the radials?

if your a M6 you will want a slick M/T 28x10.5x15-S As in stiff wall. But if you want to street drive The QTP's 27x9x15 i hear work well with a 10 wide rim or a 8. But I say M/T slick i street drive on them no problems here HAHAHA. And Whats your gear size????

well i would like to still drive it on the street with these sticky tires for weekend fun but i also want this thing to pull better than a 1.78 60foot and with me putting nitrous on the car soon my current 27" tire isnt gonna be tall enough.

oh and im on a 9" ford rear with 4.33 gears and a mini spool.

I agree with this. With my experience using both tires the Radials are better suited for Auto's. From what I've seen the Slicks work much better than the Radials with the 6-speeds.

The radial is "quicker", but if your M6 go with a slick.

I went to a 28x10.5 ET Drag and slowed just a little in the 1/8th but 60ft was better. I'm A4 BTW.

Six speed = bias ply tire = ET Street

ET Streets do not come in 28x10.5, you will need 28x11.5 and they will fit fine on a 15x8-15x10 wheel.

im not sure here but i see 6spd = slick, a4 = radial... i assume the m6 with slick works better on the street than a radial ? or is this TRACK ONLY?
