Re: radial test
Depends on the weight of the car, transmission type, trap speed, suspension setup, intended useage, etc... For a 5 speed mustang with a near stock suspension, the ET street would probably be the best choice at the strip but the BFG drag radial would be the most street friendly. With an Auto, the ET street radial might work better at the strip since the auto doesn't hit the tires as hard and will be more stable at the top end than the bias-ply ET streets.

Re: radial test
Set the car up with good suspension, and they will all work real good. My car has been a 1.70 on the Grand Spirits that are on it now.

Re: radial test
The mickey Thompson drag radials that just came out hook hard as hell. They hook a little better than ET streets and way in the hell better the BFG drag radials.

Re: radial test
Over here in West Michigan, most everyone has switched from the BF's and Mickey's to the Nitto Extreme Drags. Better compound, and last a heck of a lot longer- 15,000 miles plus, according to Nitto, and I have about 20 passes on mine, and I absolutely love them. They hook really nice on the street, too.
