If you look on here, you can see how streched out the 255 is on even a typical width ccw wheel.... They could barely even get the bead seated, and once they did, it popped back off a handful of times...
They had to keep the core in the valvestem, shoot it with compressed air, run it over to the air station, and start hitting it with air, if you didnt do all of that, and do it rather quickly, the bead would just unseat and you would have to start all over.

Hey man thats some good *** runs!! I met you at the car show, i was Andres and i had my black mustang (see pic in sig) in the car show just a few cars away. What part of town do you stay at? You should come out to some of the meets we go out to. 
Just kidding man. Nice times. Seems like you got some low 10's in her with a good launch. Nice work.

A good drag radial is better than an et street...
Et streets are almost never a good choice. If yo want a bias ply then just jump into a true slick... if its a street car then get it to work with a radial.
