I have an extra set of STOCK wheels. Which would be the better choice for STRIP ONLY. What else would people recommend? I can't get pure slicks because I would have to drive the car home. They would not be used for daily driving.
I'm also getting ET front skinnies.

I've got a set of ET Radials on order so I can't wait to see what they do for my stock 02 345HP SS. I was researching them on other sites too and some people have said the radials actually have a softer and sticker compound than the ET Streets do. Not sure if that's true but I want something that will get me to and from the track and not feel like jello doing it. Also wasn't too keen on having to run a tube for the ET Streets.

The 17" is the only tubless tire of the ET Street bunch. I was looking at 16" for drag tires and they require a tube so that's why I didn't want to go with them. The original post was on a Formula with STOCK wheels which would be 16's also.

I'm going by the MT literature I have. It lists a tube for all but the 17" ET Street. The radials don't require a tube though. Maybe they work without them but it doesn't say that.

I just got my M/T radials on this weekend and I am very happy with them. I used to run the ET Streets, but got tired of the sloppy handling and 'sway'.
These radials hook like glue. I could only get a second gead chirp where with the ET Streets I could break em loose through most of first gear. My BFGoodrich drag radials would spin like crazy through first and second gear.
On a scale from 1 to 10 I give the M/T radials a 10++

the ET STREET you do not HAVE TO use a tube I actully never met anyone that does use a tube. and Blind527 if you have a M6 then get a by ply tire. this helps with the shock when dumping. I use 10.5 X 16 et street and it dead hooks at 6000 rpms on two step
