Tires??

The BF Goodrich drag radials hook up great for a radial but still not as good as ET streets. The BF Goodrich drag radials dont last for shlt if you drive on the street. Normaly about 6,000 miles.

My brother put almost 120 runs on his ET Streets last year with a few monster burnouts and they are still going.

Go with ET Streets the first time and get it right. I put my ET streets on my 15 inch turbines. Normally on the street I put my pony rims on which are equipped with Nitto drag radials.

I think the MT ET streets would last about 4,000 - 6,000 miles of street strip use depending on what kind of a burnout you do.

After trying the ET streets I will never try anything else.

Dark_5.0 - I have some Hoosier 26x8.5 in. slicks that I run at the track that I've pulled some 1.7s with. That's pretty impressive that you pulled a 1.79 60ft. time with the ETs. I currently have some bald BFG drag radials on 16" pony star wheels on my Mustang. They hooked great with lowered tire psi & a good burnout. But they'd spin if I launched above 3500 rpms. I was inquiring about the ETs because I'm getting ready to buy some new tires for the street...and was just wondering if I should go with the BFG drag radials again...or if I should go out on a limb and get the ETs for street drving? Do they make ETs for 16" wheels?
