Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials
Anyone try these out yet? I really like the idea of a GOOD sticky radial tire since I have to drive 30+ miles to any track.
I will be using either the 275/60/15 or 325/50/15 if I can fit them.
How do these compare to ET Streets or ET Drags? I especially value feedback from someone who has used the radials and also the bias ply tires for a true comparison.
I make 476 RWHP and 521 RWTQ do you think I can hook with the radials?

They hook great!
My best 60' on ET streets was a 1.58
First time out with the M/T DRs I got a 1.56
Another advantage with the DRs is that you don't get the top end sway like you do with the bias ply tires.
I've heard of cars running 9s and 10s with 1.3 60' times on them so on a decently prepped track I bet they'd hook for you.

I met John Cunningham at my chassis place. John had a Nova in the Hot Rod Pump Gas Drags last year, went low 9's on motor.
He told me that the MT DR's worked better than the ET Streets for him. He tried them back to back.

I was looking at getting a set of these tires, I've heard nothing but good things about them on street/strip cars. Your setup sounds a little hot for those DR's, you may be able to hook, but the torque will likely make you spin... Let us know what you choose, and how your decision works out!

I have been using the BFGs for a while now and I have not had a problem with them. However, I may require a stickier tire in the future. Can anyone tell me how the M/T DRs stack up against the BFGs?
