Anyone try these out yet? I really like the idea of a GOOD sticky radial tire since I have to drive 30+ miles to any track.

I will be using either the 275/60/15 or 325/50/15 if I can fit them.

How do these compare to ET Streets or ET Drags? I especially value feedback from someone who has used the radials and also the bias ply tires for a true comparison.

I make 476 RWHP and 521 RWTQ do you think I can hook with the radials?

 

I muched prefer them over the ET streets, I find the radials hook a little better, require a much shorter burnout, and consistently trap higher then the et streets.

 

You ran better 60's with the ET street Radials over regular ET streets? I would like to try a set but don't think they will hook on 200HP n2o which is my next shot on my next outing. LMK

 

Um, yes? They're a much better tire.

 

Spinner,

Are you running them on the street? I'd like to buy a set as for my street rims, but am curious has to their life. Any info on your experiences is appreciated.

Thanks,


Steve.

 

These tire are awsome!!! They hook up great.

 

I've got a couple customers who only run them on the street and they love them. They use the same compound as an ET Street (R6 I think), but have the stiffer sidewall of a radial and don't grow nearly as much as a comparably sized bias-ply.

 

I saw those at the performance store the other day and was wondering about them. I know wet weather is not very good with DR's, but i'm sure they are better than the et streets. Those things just plain suck in water.

 

No. Different and unique compound.

RBE17, I dont run them on the street, I cant imagine they'd last too long, they're pretty soft.

 

I just came back from track, I saw several cars run 5.8x's on these.(1/8mi.) I talked to a guy who said they were real close to his slicks, he was pulling 1.3x's 60ft's and standing on the back bumper with the radials. He was running the 325/50/15's. There were several 5-sec cars running them so they must be pretty good.

 

I really like the look of these tires as well... the compound is a little softer than the ET Streets. I wouldn't think they would last too long with regular street driving either. I'd love to try a set of these out on my 17's but I'd hate to have to buy new ones a couple of months down the road. Not to mention, even with my fairly 'built' 10 bolt... I doubt it would hold up very well with these tires running Heads/Cam/Spray

 

seen some mustangs standing up it on the bumper today with these tires!!

 

My mistake. I thought I saw that they were the same...just checked M/T's site. The compound feels pretty similar to M/T's drag tires.

Wet weather tire? Ahh, no.

 

The radial uses the R2 compound which is softer than the M5 on the regular ET Streets. Just got 2 sets last week & initial feedback is excellent.

 

I ran 275x60x15-s for the last few months of last season. I ran consistent 1.4xx 60' all day long. Got down to 6.37 at 111. They are great for launching off idle. I couldn't get them to work with the trans-brake. Hopefully, a little more practice and suspension tuning will cure that. I love these tires. Has anyone fit a set of 325's on a fourth-gen yet?
