Default Need new slicks... What to get?

I have used up my 26x10x15 ET Drags. Time for some new rubber... Some seem to think I would pick up some MPH by going to ET Streets? If so would size ET Streets should I get? I have Yank 4400 stall. I know ET Streets/Drags are measured differently. Not sure how much different though. I currently have tubes. I'm thinking of going without them this time around.

Most of the Bolt-on guys run 26x10.5 ET Streets. That 26x10 ET Drag you've been running is significantly different in size (bigger). The 26x10.5 ET Street is about the equivalent to an 8" ET Drag.

With your setup... TH-400 right? You may be better off with a 26x11.5x15 ET Street on a 15x10 (7.5bs) rim.

This will probably get a better response in Drag Racing Section.
