NO they are not. they are NOT a radial, and are not considered one. try to run that in a radial tire class. lol there is a reason the size does not come in a metric tire size ie. 245,255,275....ect. they come in 26x10.5 26x11.5 28x10.5 and so on just like a slick. they are a bias ply cheater slick. they are a DOT tire but NOT a radial
Different in opinions I guess.. I consider a slick to have zero lines/tread on them.

it really doesnt matter what YOU consider it. it does not change the FACT that is NOT a radial in any way, shape or form. show up to a radial tire class event with that tire and see if you get to run. lol
i did not say they were a true slick. it is a DOT tire. the slang term for them is "CHEATER slick"

You consider it...... whatever you want, I will consider it a radial.

haha, no it doesnt matter cause you are WRONG. a FACT is a FACT and you cant change the construction of a tire on your opinion. do you even have clue what makes a tire radial or bias. its not just a name, its the construction of the tire and how it is buit. they act and handle completely different. school yourself instead of arguing like a ignoramus

^^^^^^^^^^hey guys, check this ***** nozzle out^^^^^^^^^^^
oh by the way, there are full blown slicks out that are of radial construction..... but the tire you post is FOR SURE not a radial. no matter what a clueless kid wants to call it

haha, back kind of on topic, i'm gonna be going to some big and littles and was wondering about the studs. most of the driving will be on the street, but not a DD. do a lot of people upgrade the studs? i wont be running a spacer either.

i run the longer "stock" replacement studs from the local parts store. they keep two in stock for our cars. the stock lenth and the longer ones for "aftermarket wheels". they are cheap and seem to work well.

ive heard the et street slicks dont hook any better than the radials. they are just more of a slick tire so you can drive to the track and run in a slick class, where as the radials are for light daily driving
i do almost all highway driving on my et street radials and have gone about 10k miles so far, and a just under the wear bars.

they do better if you have the suspension to load the tires. the problem is getting a propper burnout with them on the street. you need alot of wheel speed to get them hot. i can hit mine with 560rwhp 600rwtq on the bottle from a 25 and hook. i could not do that with the radial last year... but they drive NOTHING like a radial.

I know this off topic but I have to do it...YOU ARE DUMB
There is a reason why MT calls them the ET street...and the actual radial tire an ET street RADIAL....Yes its DOT approved but you arent gonna sneek em by any guy teching in a car at an outlaw radial race...
