Lets run this through since I see a bunch of crap in this thread
1- ET street RADIAL works better on an unprepped street than a ET street SLICK type
2- Stock suspension and ET Street can hook just fine (personal 1.4 60')
3- I drove all the time with ET street SLICK type on my car with regular 245s up front and got no lane walk until they were aired down for track use, put them up to 24 for road use and you will be fine, just don't go swerving around.
4- ET street radials will be way more than enough to hook up your car. They can go 7s on them, I'm sure you will be just fine.
Get it? Got it, good.

ive run et streets with my 17in street rims in front very scary. it was alot better with the 15 by 4s in the front
the ets are 26/11.50/16 they hook hard at the track not so much on the street. i think my nittos work better LOL and alot safer

Air them up properly and you will get hardly any top end walk. I drove around on mine all the time everywhere. Put them up at 24ish PSI and you will hardly notice unless your swerving around...

they are DOT approved.. thats why they got the little lines.. so you can drive them LEGALLY on the street...
ps... OP do a burnout.. that will help a lot.. and if your just spinning like that on the street with those tires.. you will DEAD hook at the track!

Thanx for all the input fellas, i really appreciate it....Well i pumped them up to 20psi and drove around on them and they werent too bad....Like said, i think a drag radial will work better on the streets, but i have a feeling they will work good on the track...

I know, they're just a "street slick" so if you get nailed for them you can still say they have "Legal tread-depth"

Well angel we saw that the car will hook once there is a clean road under it. Next time hopefully we can get even better results

Hmm I don't know there is this thing called a tire pressure gauge so when you want to race you can drop them to where they need to be so you can drive on them at 24psi and not have lane walk or wear them fast.....

Anytime man, next time I will be sure to have the proper supplies so we can get some more efficient tests in. But it still seemed like it got out really good till you got to the dusty areas.
