New wheels, ET Street or ET Drag? Ok, I just got a set of 15x10 prostars and 15x3.5 front runners, got new tires for the fronts. I need to decide what tires to order for the rear.
I usually run stock 16x8 wheels out back with 26" M/T ET Streets, these past weekends at the track i've been cutting consistent 1.7 60's with 15psi(cold). When I lower the pressure to 12-13psi(cold), I cut a 1.5 60' but the car is somewhat unstable going down the track. I also seem to bog with the lower pressure, I usually hold my RPM's at 6000, and on the first light drop, hammer the gas to the floor and drop the clutch at the end of the 2nd light. Sometimes I hit limiter sometimes I don't.
All my mods are in sig, I am pretty sure 26" is the right tire height, but should I got ET Street or ET Drag?

if your just wanting to dead hook at the track go with an ET drag.
if you want an awesome hooking street tire that hooks just as good as an ET street then go with the drag radial. Those radials have been in the 7's(so be it that it was a 315/60).

I'm not concerned with street usage, i'll be taking these out to the track and mounting them out there along with the skinnies. So ET Drags seems to be the way to go. Thx guys.
