Mickey T's ET street radials I have a stock 10 bolt with 3.73's and suspension work done is subframe connectors, panhard bar, LCAs, and tq arm. Soon, I will get a 3200 stall in my car. So, if I was to get the Mickey T's ET streets, will it hurt my 10 bolt?

I've run them a couple times without issue, but my 10-bolt is on it's last leg. If one tire was going to kill yours, it'd probably be the MT.
Going out to the track with Nittos Friday, and crossing my fingers.
Whether or not your 10-bolt lasts depends on a couple of things: wheel-hop, power level, launch, and mostly luck.
I've got 320 passes on mine, and know a couple of guys who have more (one over 1000) who are faster than me, but we're on the rare side of things.

I'm about to get a rearend cover girdle on it too. Should strengthen rearend a bit.
My power level is not as much as some of you guys.
Also, I don't launch it all the time.
Launch the car hard, if it breaks, it breaks. I still think it's mostly luck of the draw. Important thing is to enjoy it. You didn't get this car to go easy on it. Just kick back some cash to prepare for the inevitable.

Suspension isn't everything. Sometimes crap on the track can make you wheelhop. Just make sure you let out of it if you do.
From what I've seen, those honestly aren't worth the money. You'd be better saving that money up towards a 12-bolt or 9-inch. EVERY rear I've seen with one of those has broken. My upcoming build doesn't include one, and I don't have one now.
I've seen people break them with stock RWHP. I'm only around 335 rwhp myself, not much at all.
Then what's the point of going?

My 10 bolt outlasted my first set of MT DR's and now I'm into my second. Bolt-on power level. This is flashing my conveter and dead hooking - 1.70-1.85 60' depending on air.
With your stall you will need them. After installing my first stall I gained .25 with Nittos. That shot up to .6 with Mickeys. Consider the discussion done - go out and get a pair.

yeap, the 10 bolt is still alive. One thing that might help destroy the 10 bolt quicker on these tires is if the track is hooking like a ****, not saying this will always break the 10 bolt, but you never know. Saturday at the track, 4 cars went down, they were Cobras and Vettes though.

Mine saw tons of 1.6 60 fts and low 11 to high 10 sec. passes (on MT street Radials) before it finally let go.....I agree with most everyone here.
That is the most legitimate choice for you for optimal traction that will be the softest you can on your 10 bolt.

stock 10bolt=
rear end cover will not help in your situation b/c the auto cars aren't as violent on the rear as a six speed. put the MT's on that bish and hope for the best.. if it breaks....
buy a 12 bolt and be done with it. it's hella expensive but worth it in the end.. i'd rather spend 3k once than spend 600 everytime it breaks for the rest of the cars life!
just my .02

it could break at anytime with our without the tire
realistically auto cars do not break them often compared to 6 speed car
We ran a 10 bolt in my fathers 01 Z H/C and N20 and seen many, many mid 1.4 60 ft times and never hurt the rearend. The driveshaft was in a few pieces once

i have countless passes on mine and i am cutting 1.6 60s. i have used the mt et streets and the et street radials. both good tires. The key is to eliminate wheel hop. i know the 10 bolts are not the best, but i guess i have better luck than most.
