how about those mickey thompson drag radials, they look like a more streetable e/t street.

they look soft as anything and prob wont last. you get a tire that hooks and doesnt last and you spend a shitload or you get tires thats last and dont hook.

ET Streets + Rain = BAD!!!!!!!!!!! Dont do it. Brent, get some M/T Sportsman radials. they have tread, but are made out of a good compound.

Actually the ET street Radials arent that bad at all in the rain. The ET street drags are shitty as hell in the rain. The drags are still street legal but have a few thin lines of tread. The ET street Radials have a pretty regular tread pattern on them.

not too much to update on, it runs without any issues so he's just putting gas in it and cruising around at this point.

it's pretty damn quick.

How did I miss this little gem For the record, I was half-assing it
I don't normally do that sorta stuff (I live on an island full of bored cops ) and not normally my style.

Besides how can I take you on a death ride when compared to all the other setups you've ridden in... you'd yawn at my attempts (so would I if comparing to 800+ hp setups).
