Default ET Street?

Yesterday I put a set of ET Streets 26 X 10.5 X 16 on my car. I also put on BMR relocation brackets(bolt on kind). My problem is when I get to about 70 mph the car shakes bad. What is causing this? Tires? Brackets?

Does the car wobble like something is loose in the rear cause ET Streets drive like that and Dont take an offramp too fast cause they will roll over on you.

Kinda, really more of a violent shaking. You can hardly notice it until you get to 70.

i guarantee you have radials up front right?...you problem is that you have to match tires on a car. i.e. radials and radials, or slicks and skinnies. that is what is making your car shake on those higer speeds.

I'd check the balance on the rear tires. Last 2 sets of ET Streets I've had were way out of balance.

Ironically, my ET Street Drag Radials were pretty close.

what tire pressure... if ur driving on like 13-15lbs of air lol... ur gonna feel it big time.. put 19-22lbs if u have to drive down the highway to get to the track.. thats what i did.. took care of the wobbling.. the shaking either means unbalanced or like the other guy said about the radials up front, tho i never had that problem

not saying you are wrong, but he said that he has the shaking above 70mph...if it was air pressure, he would have it at lower speeds as well, but you might be right

ET streets some times have to be re balanced.They are as close to a slick as you can get.And have to be balanced 2/3 times depending were you have it done.
