ET Drags. OK on street? I just got a set of 26-10-16 ET Drags from a buddy of mine. My question is if I drive a short distance to the track with these on am I going to hurt the tires. I know they will were quicker but will the road debris cause alot of damage? I also know that it is illegal but only if I get caught. <img src="images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

Re: ET Drags. OK on street? I'd personally change them at the track. It would take nothing to get something pushed through those tires w/ the soft compound.

Re: ET Drags. OK on street? Ditto on the other comments...
They will last no time at all doing normal driving, and they will not handle well due to the sidewall construction of a slick.
A short drive at reasonable speeds is probably OK, but I wouldn't go more than 15-20 miles. They aren't designed for it.

Re: ET Drags. OK on street? Same comments as above, I've driven home on slicks when I don't feel like changing them, but only a few times. Corners are fun!! <img src="images/icons/grin.gif" border="0">
