I run the QTP's and have a best 60' of 1.67. I like the tires. I have never run E/T streets.

I run BFG drag radials on the street and have run em at the track too. best 60' on these was 1.79.

At HRP I have ran a 1.496 on ET Streets. At LSR I can't seem to get hooked up most of the time with even less air pressure.

I would like to try a set of Hoosiers QTP's if they made a 16" tire wide enough to hook. I only see a 8" wide thread width in 16". My ET Streets are 10". With my 8" factory wheel I'm not using the full 10" thread width anyway so maybe the 8" is all I need.
