26/11.5/17 ET Street or 275/40/17 ET Street RADIAL? I have a line on some ET Street 26/11.5/17 for my spare wheels so street use is not a concern.
My question is... Does one hook better than the other? I know typically a drag radial will mph better in the 1/4. But other than that is the ET Street better than an ET Street Radial.
I want some good honest input, not just an opion please. Thanks

I've got MT DR's 275/40/17 and they spin like crazy. Dumping aa low as 3,000 rpm and I bounce off the rev limiter. Kevin at MT told me their DR's shouldn't be used on our M6 cars, but they are fine for an A4. I'm going to ET Streets when I determine what wheels to use.
