RE: Gonna buy new drag tires.....help me choose
looks like a sweet deal. i heard somewhere that its a good idea to match the tires up front with the ones in the back but i see alot of people dont, does it realy matter? im getting dr's this spring and im wondering if i can just keep my front tires that i have on it now.

Yeah, you can just keep your front tires. You don't have to match them. Some people do so they can rotate them....that is the only reason I can see for that.

look i havent read the thread at all, so if im repeating ****, my bad
but aperantly the m/t DOT radials are no longer DOT... and they have to redesign them... so if you can still find them then cool, if their on backorder, theyll prolly be on back order for a while
none the less their great tires and i use them
i also hear that the hoosiers are the thing to have now... i might try them out next

Well, you know those others are bias ply tires right? You should run tubes in them you know. Just somethin to think about.
ET Street
Worlds Fastest D.O.T. Class Race Tire.
Same great features as our race winning ET Drag with a D.O.T. stamp that meets the rulebook specifications for street tire classes. Tube type for extra sidewall strength, better air retention, and more consistent ET’s.

I say et street bias plys for the track. They hook way better then drag radials especially if your car is a 5 speed.

Tubes are about 50 bucks a pop from summit. What's the problem w/ the et streets?
