I don't DD my ET Fronts...but I sure as hell feel a LOT safer driving on them than some tires rated for a bug...that is half the weight and half the speed.

most people on here are missing the point of why people run et front runners its not for the purpose of handling its for the track when your running a bisply tire. when you run a radial with a biasply in the rear you are gonna feel like your on skates but with the front runners up front it is much better and doesnt feel like you have a flat tirea at 100+ mph. To the people running the vw tire good luck and if your that broke and cant afford a little more for a tire then sell it and buy a damn honda and dont drag race.

I was looking at the MT S/R's and they have 2 different sizes. Should I get the larger of the two is the car will see little street time?

Mine's street/strip.. I went with the 26's.. Do you have coil overs? Reason I ask is when I switch between my 18's and my 15's(skinnies) I have to raise the ride height by over an inch for the skinnies to clear..

165r15 VW tires are not the same as 165/8-r15's. I would not run the metric VW tires on my car

yea we know this they are a little smaller diameter then vw tires, but still have the same load rating and speed rating so really dont see the difference

i have put 5k miles on arizonian tires.. so far they are wearing better than the old set i had before

i trust them for daily driving. however i wouldnt trust them over 120mph. i could see things going badly at the track with them but not on the street, and my car never sees more than 75 mph on the freeway

Yeah I guess I wouldn't mind street driving them, but there is NO way I'd want anything to do with 130mph traps at the track on those..

Sportsmans are radials, it clearly says it on the tire and on every website they are for sale on. I have them on my car and would never run a cheapo 165 its just not worth it.

then again if your trapping 130mph your probably not daily driving the car. if you spent that much on speed i think you could spend an extra $35 a tire, or even the extra $250 for a street set of front runners lol

sportsmans are NOT radial tires.
the sportsman SR tire IS a radial tire.
poster was prolly confused.

TJ

75mph continuous driving will put more heat in the tire than a quick 120mph blast will.
IMO, what you are doing is more dangerous than using them at the track.
no chance of building up sustained heat in a 8-12 second blip down the 1320.

I beg to differ. I run sportsmans on my daily driver they are bias ply

i commute from dallas to lubbock 750 miles round trip. ive made that drive about 5 times now, takes about 5 and a half hours each way. never had any problems at all. im more worried about not having oem lugnuts to put the spare on with than anything

Go buy some, I just had to, to put my stock rims on to roll the car around. Their like .75 cents each lol.

TJ

everybody drives on them, i know. im just saying there CAN be an issue with them.
if you carry a spare, wrap some stock lugs up in a rag and put them with the spare tire so they dont rattle.
