M/T told me today that in fact the DR is working better than the ET streets.They also told me the DR is only .20 off a comparable sized slick vs the same size Dr.I must try these out once my slicks go buh bye,I might run them instead of a slick now.

On second thought, it may be wheel hop. He should look into the LCA relocation brackets.

I had 26" et streets but never used them at the track. I switched to 275/60/15's and they hook better than the et streets on the street. I have cut a 1.56 60' NA and 1.51 on a 100 shot. I'm shooting for 1.45 60's with more suspension tweeks and adjustiable rear shocks. Btw I drive on the everyday.

I just got my new set put on yesterday! I bought 255/50/16's to replace my old yokahama 245 avids, and BOY do they work better than I thought. I've had nittos and BFG's and these ET radials work better on the street than any tire I've had. I can't wait to try them out this Sunday at the track!

I ran them for about 6-8 mos. They work well. We ran 18" ones they have short side walls which don't work as well as say a 15",or 16" tire. The high HP cars actually flatten and wrinkle them. A 400-600 HP car will have trouble doing that to a 17",or 18" tire. I gained on the top end with them a couple MPH. We cut mid 1.5's with them on a good track. We walked it out on a bad track. With Hoosier slicks we have cut high 1.3's to mid 1.4's
