You will probably have trouble hooking up with the MT drag radials and spraying 175 off the line. I would just stick with the ET streets.

actually i think Zepp is wrong. seach the name Doc Otis over in the single digit forum here. he ran 9.70x on the 275/560/15 M/T radial. he went 1.39 on slicks and 1.41 i believe on the radials.

Dude, no offense, but use some periods in your post. You just made a 9 line long sentence. It's really hard to read, and it gets confusing.
