ET streets are D.O.T. approved but NOT street legal. show them a picture of your car on a radial tire. thats how mine was thrown out. the exhuast make up some documents sayin you have the stock one back on the car. tint on the hatch is perfectly fine. did you have that black trans am or tt2'S?

Eh, that's nothing. 88monte and I both got 8 or 9 tickets at once. What sucks for me was, they were almost all moving violations

"Drag slick performance in a D.O.T. approved tire.
Now you can get Mickey Thompson ET Drag Race tire performance in a D.O.T. approved, bias-ply street legal tire. These ET Street tires were designed specifically for NMCA, Easy Street, and Outlaw Street competition, but they're ideal for any class that uses a street-type race tire. They have a special tread compound that Mickey Thompson says outperforms other D.O.T. race tires, and considering how good the original ET Drags are, we don't doubt them. Other ET Street features include state-of-the-art, two-ply wrinkle wall construction on a black nylon bias-ply carcass."

The ET Streets are sold D.O.T. legal, but 1 burnout and the tread depth is too low to pass any inspection. The tint, yeah, that's legal, the cop is moron.

tell that to the bolingbrook judge. keep in mind because they are D.O.T. approved always doesnt mean they are street legal.

ET Streets & Hoosier's QTPs may say D.O.T. approved on them, but cops don't care. They will still give you a ticket and you'll still have to pay the fine. I had ET Street radials (MT's drag radials) and I still got a ticket. *******!

I wouldn't just tell that to the Bolingbrook judge...I would bring all of the proper documentation to back it up. If everyone just lays down and lets these morons write these BS tickets...they will just continue to write BS tickets. I realize there is only so much you can do, but I would make damn sure I did everything in my power to fight it.

I guess it's probably safe to assume that there isn't a whole lot of crime in Bolingbrook.
