Anyone running M/T ET streets
Ok guys...I go through a set of "DRAG" radials every summer! As I actually drive my wreck as a daily driver and this is what I have foundout. If you plan on driving your car as a daily driver than most drag radials are out of the question because as soon as it rains you hydroplane. MT et streets, hoosier qtp etc are all useless in wet condition. The nitto 555 drag radial has the tread pattern and grip for wet conditions that I have found but you still have to be carefull with them if its raining hard. I run these when I am out driving daily and will do for most of the unexpected grudge matches that come up. But when I am serious about hooking on the street or strip I bolt on the MT et street ( NON RADIAL ) and they work good! If you do not drive in any wet weather then I would use the mickey thompson drag radial and at the strip just a light burn out to clean off the tires. If you do a big burn out they tend to spin out of the hole. Hoosier drag radials are good also and same rules apply for strip use. This is just my opinion from what I experinced from spending $800 every spring for the last 5 years as I am active in back street grudge matches and strip use.
