safe to drive on??
Re: safe to drive on?? not really a smart idea...(if you should get in anything involving a cop...you get a fine for improper tires)just get some rims with the slicks....ask any of our sponsors------->
a bunch of them carry some type of rims/slicks
then just change them at the track...takes like 5 minutes to do it...just get a good jack...and a 4way iron(easier to spin it)...

Re: safe to drive on?? 26x10.5x16 thats what I have on stock rims.
I change them at the track for a couple of reasons
1- Rain (They are a death trap)
2- Cops and snotty attitudes
3- Wear on the ET's and those suckers aren't cheap.

Re: safe to drive on?? you wont get a ticket with et streets, and if you do it wont hold up if you protest it. they are rated a street legal tire for a reason. us a 26x10 et street. highly sugest having 12-bolt and aftermaket clutch if you dont have one already.

Re: safe to drive on?? As long as yiu don't get caught in the rain, your fine. I drive on my MT ET STREETS for weeks at a time with no problem. They are street legal tires that are approved by the Department of transportation (DOT approved). Make sure that you keep them at about 22-27 PSI around town.
goood luck.

Re: safe to drive on?? It rained a little here in Kc today...I was out and about running errands...and I saw a dude in a mustang driving around in slicks....he lost it with only a little water on the road....and ditched it...DUMBASS!!!

Re: safe to drive on?? I've thought about driving around on these. Keeping them at a higher pressure around town will net what kind of tread life? Will they last several thousand miles of daily driving plus several strip passes? How do they compare life-wise to the Bf Goodrich Drag Radials that I'm using now? Thanks
