Default ET Street radials on a M6

Hey, my bias ply ET streets are about worn out and Im thinking of going with the ET street radials so I dont have to bring a bunch of tools and rims/tires with me when I go to the track. With the radials I could just make the 45 min - 1 hr drive from my house to the track. Ive read a few posts on here that say the radials arent geat on the m6s. There are also some that say they work great. It sure would be convenient if I could make them work. I think I may try them out and if they dont work I'll just get ET drags. What say you?

Also if you have an M6 and these tires what 60 ft times are you getting and what kind of power are you putting down?

I'm a stock M6 and I think they work great. I drive to the track with them and have been very happy with them.
