I was thinking about getting the ET street radials as those are the only ones that would fit on the 16" V6 wheels.

Are they going to be much stickier than the Nitto NT555Rs?

Dimebag, how many miles do you get out the M/T et street radials as your DD tire? I was thinking about doing that but didn't want to buy two sets of tires over the 7-8 months I am able to drive my car. My car isn't a DD and I don't drive in bad whether but do have about 1.5hr drive to the track.

Oh and anyone have any experience or know anyone running the Hoosier Quick Time Pro tires? Those are more like the ET streets for less than the cost of the M/Ts.

I wish they made NT05R's for you wannabe cus they would be your best bet id say. But if you must, the Hoosier DR's are pretty sick-nasty. They hook awesome but you'll go through a set in 1000 miles or so. They dont last but they are fun while not lasting.

Ya I can't do the NT05s cause I have the gay 16" wheels and if I buy new wheels they are going to be 15" wheels with slicks lol

1000 miles kinda sucks but maybe I can find another 16" wheel so I don't have to drive with them all the time.

I have run the quick times and the pros on my 92 coupe. They are a good tire for the $$

I think I might just run a non bias ply tire until I get 15" wheels. So I'm thinking the M/T ET street radials are what I'm going to get.

I would be building the rear with 4.10s and a stall that you are getting. Where are you getting your converter from?

I called Alan at Dirty Dog Peformance and told him what I had and what I was wanting in a converter so he made me a custom 10" converter. Great guy and was super helpful. He built me a 10" 3800 stall converter that would hold up to my 125 shot all for $650 shipped. Awesome price!
