The 26X11.50-17 ET street does not require tubes correct?

whoops.. I was asking "flounderlipps".

Hows are the ET streets?

I am looking for a set of DRs for next season to really grip and get my 60 ft.s down as well-



(sorry about the thread jack!)

I run 255/40/18s up front with 35psi. and the sway bar on.
If you take the front sway bar off it will improve your 60s. If you really want great 60s
go to a 15" tire, take off the front sway bar and get some skinnies up front.

I need to do more homework on my set up quite honestly lol.

I might run the MT drag radials out back and skinnies up front but I am still pretty clueless in how to pick tires. I'd be happy with 1.8 60 ft.s 1.5 and I'd be amazed..

I get consistent 1.9 sec 60fts with my set-up , happy with that since I am N/A, the combo of DRs, UCA/LCAs have done the trick, before I couldn't break 2.2 for 60ft.
