buddy mine mine dropped money on new dr's then street drove em from the start. kinda made me cringe. i dont think first time out on them is going to go that well.

they say ET STREET RADIALS for a reason..... I've got a set of old ET STREETS non radials w/ 5,000 miles on em... those arent that fun to drive around on... but I never had a problem. Been through several sets of nitto DRAG RADIALS with 7,000-10,000 miles on em.

not heat cycling them like they were designed to be, i would think they rubber would degrade and lose some performance. if im wrong, thats fine but ive always generally thought d/r's/race tires are designed for the track, not the street.

I daily drove some Nitto 555r drag radials and they were still hooking when I took them off.
So far I haven't got the M/T Et Street radials to hook well, but they are 325/50 didn't realize I needed to go under 16# with them and possibly as low as 12# per M/T recommendation.

Drove on mine for 6 mos maybe 2k and 100 passes on them till the cord showed. I will get another set or some NTo1's. They aren't real safe in the rain but better then ET streets or slicks. Hell we drive on ET Drags all the time. Thats alot of fun leaving from a red light.

I had around 50 1/8th mile passes/ burnouts on mine and still drove on them for almost 15,000. Granted i was somewhat nice on them but those bastards never stopped hooking even once the cords started showing lol. ![Burnout](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_burnout.gif)
