Default Which slick

I posted this in the tire sec but ill post it here also....I have been running mt-et streets 26X11.50 16 and they hook pretty good but are now worn out due to driving 40miles to the track. I see that MT now has et street radials and my friends are having great luck on the 275/40R17. I was wondering if the 255/50R16 would hook as good as my 26X11.50 16 et streets since it is a little smaller of a tire. Anyone whos running the 255/60R16 on the track please post up.... Thanks

the et-street radials don't last at all if you street drive. 3-friends 3-sets worn out in 2-months. i use the m&h racemaster cheeter slick 26x11.5x15 and cut some 1.4 60's even one 1.3 60 and i drive 200mi a week on them with more then 100 track and street races on them a year. my last set of cheeters was the same but a 16'' rim 1.5' 60's motor and 2.5 years of street and track use.www.intercotire.com goodluck to ya.

That's hardcore. You never got caught in a huge downpour with those tires? Seems like you'd be s.o.l. if that happened.

I have been looking at these tires too for next season. Where did you get yours from?
