Default Post your best 60 on 26x10.5x15 ET Streets

just wondering but will they hold roughly 1.48-1.55's ok? I plan on using that tire with 15x8draglite. Im using streets because I need cruise the streets everynow and then.

I have a feelin when this car hooks now she will be low 1.5's for sure. I dont want to rule out a 1.49 oneday also <img border="0" alt="[judgement]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" /> Hopefully the 10bolt will be as good to me as all the other 1.4's i see being cut on it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

so post your best 60 <img border="0" alt="[hail]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" />

Cut 1.5's on Nitto's Drags, you should have no problems on the ET's... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

(1.520)

Ran about 75 passes 1.59 or better on my old set.

Used them to drive to the track 3 hours each way. That's how I ran the time in sig <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I've now stepped to a set of Hoosier 26x9 slicks. I just starting to get use to them. They hook a little more consistant than the ET Streets.. but have to change them at the track.

Ahh man.. Just notice who this was.. of course you already know all about my car <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

ET Streets will make MIR just that much more fun! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

If you have the power/torque and suspension is right, getting the 60' you want won't be a problem ith ET Streets. I've seen cars get anywhere from 1.0-1.8's with them, depending on the car and tire combo. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I cut a few 1.48 60' times on that same setup (15x8 and 26x10.5x15)

They are not consistent though (ET Streets) and putting them on 8" wide rims isn't a good idea. You will only have about 7" of tire touching the ground in the middle, giving up a good 1.5" of possible contact patch on both sides of the tire.

Go with 10" wheels if possible

I dont have the rims yet either which is why im asking. Im probably gonna order something in Feb so i have a little time <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I went 1.50 on 26x11.5x15 ET Streets on 15x10's without really trying... Stable as hell going down the track.

I cut a 1.51 60ft with 26" x 11.5" x 15" ET Streets. Definitely get 15" x 10" wheels, not the 15" x 8's.

LOL, I couldn't cut better than 1.78 with my ET Streets, but i'm a measly bolt-on car. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

I cut 1.70s with my ET Drags now.

Best 60'times:
ET Streets 26X11.5X16(25 passes)Best 1.56 @17psi
HoosierQTP 26X11.5X15(20 passes 1.72 @14psi <img border="0" alt="[Banging Head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />
HoosierQtp 27X11.5X15(7 passes)1.42 @19psi <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />
best ET street(1.56) and 1st set of Hoosiers(1.72) same day same track. I was certainly disappointed in the Hoosiers.
FWIW.
The 2nd set are making me a believer again.

We cut 1.50's on 26x11.5 on 15x10. hooks good enough to break an axle. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
