Who has the lowest 60" on a 255-50-16 ET Street Radial? How low can you go? Just wondering how far have people pushed the 255-50-16 MT ET Street Radial and when it becomes necessary to step up to the 275-50-15 ET Street Radial on a set of drag radials.
I have gone 1.630 with a bolt on A4 car on stock suspension...
Im sure they have been mid 1.5Xs with alot of cars, but has anyone taken the 255-16 ET Street Radial to 1.4X 60"s?

A buddy of mine has went 1.49 with his on the nitrous. I have went 1.43 60ft. with the 275/50/15 on the motor. If you can get some 15 inch welds or bogarts the 275/50/15 will hook better and more consistant.

Car should make ~550RWHP and 5XXRWTQ on the unit...
If I can Squeeze a 1.45-1.49 60" I believe the car should have 10.50's or better in it.
Am I on the high side or low as far as predicting my ET?
I'm going to put these mini radials to work

Hate to say it but your probably going to have to run a 275/50/15 before it's said and done. It will be a hit and miss on your 60fts. on a average track and nothing is more annoying to me to hit 2 good 60fts. out of 10 runs

Yea that was the reason I went with them. Best I got was 1.62. Once I got the cam in, they will not hook. I really hate buying tires coming towards the end of the season but if there is that big of difference between the 2 I will. Im so damn close to 11s with a 12.06 LOL

I've been 1.49 on all stock suspension and mt 255-50-16's hitting 150 rwhp shot off the line with a heavy heads and cam car. Since then i went to a fab 9 and 275-50 15's and can't hook it. Spinning off the line with a best 1.57 60 ft.
