Default How much power is an e.t. street good for

I just bought a set of race stars (formerly Greg Welds) 15 x 10 x 7.5 for a 98 ta a4 with a 383 stroker and 3:73 gear with a vig 32-3400 stall. I have no idea how much power i will make yet or any idea of the times it will run. I am thinking of buying E.T. streets. Will these get me enough traction for this set up or am i going to be forced to buy an all out slick. I drive this car on the street maybe 2000 miles a year so it isn't a dd but it is still enjoyed on the street and strip. Also I am debating on the size I should run. Any input will be greatly appreciated, even recommendations on who to buy from.

M/T ET Streets = Plenty of traction for that application.

ET Streets hook awesome. I've had no issues hooking up with them. My 60's could be better but our tracks here in So Cal suck and have terrible prep.

Yeah I am in NW Indiana and our tracks here are also very poorly maintained mom and pop tracks. I have never needed to run anything more than a street tire but now with the stall and stroker I cant go over half throttle without breaking lose. The motor is built for torque. I really hope et streets are enough cuz i love drivin this on the streets and i dont feel like swapping between 2 sets of rims all the time.

Just get 275 / 60 - 15 MT radials. I'm going that route next time.

Think most of them are running the 315/60, but remember its taking alot more stuff to make them work at those levels. Its all in your susp. set-up and power.
