DR's VS. E/T Streets Hey guys,
I am tired of going nowhere (except closer to the wall!) at the track on Eagle GSC's....Time to get serious! How much better are the E/T streets than say Nitto's? They are about the same price so please give me some feed back. Thanks! By the way, the car is a 2000 Z A4 with 3.73's Macs w/ORY, Hot Cam and Shift kit. Suspension includes lowered front, LCA w/ brackets and PHR. Best time prior to cam/headers=13.43 @ 105mph. After cam/headers =13.6 @112+mph??? I'm guessing I have a serious traction problem. What should some good tires put me in? Mid 12's? Thanks...PS Iknow I need a converter BAD! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: DR's VS. E/T Streets I'm just getting ready to try out the ET Streets this weekend. Then I would really know the difference. But since no one has replied-here goes. I would get the ETs, I've had 275 BFG DRs and they were marginally better than the stock Firehawks. Cut a best of 1.90 with both but the DRs were consistantly better by a smidge. I have a M6 and get my best 60fts by slipping the clutch. This is also on the stock rear with 3.42s. You have a auto so you don't have to worry as much about the rear breaking. I'd say don't bother with the DRs unless you do alot of street racing. JMO
Re: DR's VS. E/T Streets its common sense ET streets will hook better than DR's since they are a cheater slick.
But do you want to run them?? They suck in rain, they flex like crap on top end, feel like car is gonna twsist around on ya.
Nittos: 10-15k miles, drive great in rain, hook awesome on a well prepped track
I cut like 1.89's on dunlops and with nittos I cut a 1.58 @ 20psi with stock internals and vig3600. On average they hold 1.58-1.64's for me and run 11.9-12.1's bolt on only
I just installed a cam and i havent gotten more than one pass to test them out recently..
i only tried one luanch and i always go easy on the first pass to test car out. Cut a crappy 1.70 idling off line and only went 11.90 @ 114
i know I can get back in the low 1.6's and upper 1.5's again on 245/16's and hopefully hit some 11.5-6's cam only <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
bascially nittos hook. I usually run right with the et street guys off the line. Heck I dont see many bolt on cars with et streets cutting 1.5's.. nittos do <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
