Default ET Streets

Got a good deal on 26x11.5r16 ET streets mounted on stock Z28 rims. I put them on this morning, and all I can say is wow. I didn't get to really heat them up since I was testing on public roads but they are hella sticky. Can't wait to see what they do at the track

I just bought the exact same wheel/tire combo to replace my BFG Drag Radials as my track tires. I've got a big stall and a cam in the car but I'm hoping traction will be there and I can really see what the car will do. Glad to see a vote of confidence.

The only thing I worry about is the 11.5 on a 8" rim as it's not recommended by MT. What can ya do though when a good deal presents itself?

I just mounted a set of 26/11.5s on my stock wheels as well, and I agree that the grip so far is awesome. The launch coming off of the trans brake is unreal.

I use to run nitto's but they just were not cutting it for me, when I put the et's i was majorly pleased, but need to bump up to some 28.5 or 29.5 not to get a better 60
