Default Guys please help !!

I have a set of 17x9.5 front and 17x11 zr1 replicas coming in. I want to know which tires to order. Looking for the stickiest tires I could get for the street/track.

MT ET Streets : 26X11.50-17LT
or
MT ET Street Radials: P275/40R17 (26x11.50R17)

Which of these would fit ?? Also what front tires do you recommend with either?? Thanks again

If it is going to get driven on the street alot, like DD, then go with the Street Drag Radials, cause the Et Streets will not work out as DD tires, atleast not IMO. So, for the fronts I would just get Fuzions 275/40R17, cheap and good all round street tire.

I personally suggest getting a set of Fuzions for everyday driving and then take two of the stock rims and put Et Streets on them for the track. This is what has worked best for my friends and me.

if your back rim is gonna be 11" then you need to run a 315 out back & a 275 up front.
