If you are planning on driving around alot on the street then get the drag radials. ET Streets drive like **** on the street, *** end always feels kind of loose.

i dunno ive had both a set of et drags and et streets on my car, and i think the et streets hooked harder on the street. the et drags were kinda old though so that coulda been it.

^That is it. New for new the et drag (bias ply tire) is going to out hook the ET street (bias ply non radial tire).

To the orginal poster, being that you are a stick car I would suggest either the ET street (non radial) or the et drag. Stick cars and radials are a weird combination. Some have made it work, many have not.

ive got et streets (non radial) on my thirdgen just for the track. driving it out there it isnt bad unless you have them at about 15psi or less. i run them at 20 to get out there and air them down when i run.

Trying to make the same choice. Which slick will hook better - ET Drag or ET Street? Surface is not very sticky at my track, if that matters

I just got a set of 26x10.50x16 et street (bias ply) they hook very well on the street, and as far as the drivability of them on the street i have had them up to a decent speed and with no front sway bar i haven't had a problem.

if both of them are the same compound (M5), what is the difference between the ET DRAG and ET STREET? I doubt those few thin *** lines in the ET STREET will really make that big of a difference in traction. I have the 28x10.5S ET DRAG.. the only reason y i got the ET DRAG was for the S sidewall
