Default ET Streets

Would ET streets be too much for my 10 bolt? It's a A4, and I don't have a stall either, so I would think it's not as much shock as a M6 would have launching.

I know the 10 bolts have holded up for some people that are well in the 10's. I'm thinking the new M/T radials would be better, and I've heard good things from them too.

Anyone?

If you have a 10 bolt I would stick with the ET Streets. It'll give you a softer launch than any drag radial would.

Looking at your mods, you don't have enough to overcome the bog that ET Streets may give you, especially with the stock converter. Try the ET Street Drag Radials first, I would only recommend the ET Streets if you had a (3200+) stall with your current mods.

I put a set of MT DR's on my 6 speed and at the track I have to be around 4500RPM or higher to even come close to not bogging off the line they hook so well! Not sure how much different ET streets are. These DR's are nuts for traction!

Same here. I just replaced my ET streets with drag radials about a week ago. These tires stick like GLUE. I haven't launched hard yet on them, but I'm worried about how my 12-bolt will take the shock.

6700 rpm 2 step launch on a 16X 10.5 et street (non radial) and will not spin a lick (well unless you count spinning the rims inside the tires!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I run 10s with my 10 bolt and ET Drags. Autos are much easier on the rear than 6 speeds.
