What size ET Streets does everyone abuse? ?

[Transamman25]

Just a quick info for the ones of us who usually abuse street tires

[gettinthere]

On a stock rear with an M6 I wouldn't go taller than a 26" tire. A4's can get away with a 28" boot.

Either way a 15" rim will provide the best bite for traction.

Ok so what size ?? Ya know ima 6 speeder .. 26x9.5x15 ??

[Trevor86TA]

I think that's an ET Drag size.

I run 26X10.5/15 ET Streets. The are comparable to a 255/60 tire.

[Transamman25]

we can stuff more tire than that right ??

[Trevor86TA]

Taller tires are as important as wider. You could go with a 28x11.50 ET Street so long as you gear the car accordingly.

[Transamman25]

what kinda gears we talking i have 3:42's and a T56

[Trevor86TA]

Depends how high your car traps I guess but with 28s I am sure you could run at least 4.10 gears with 28s.

If you are going to leave the 3.42s, run the short tire to keep some gear in the car.

Like Trevor said, I'd go with a 26x10.5x15" tire. With the 3.42's that'll give you some decent bite.

mine is on 28"
I have a 4.11 gear
and only 3 gears :D

[Transamman25]

These ET Streets should allow a 5000 rpm launch ? or should it be lower ?

[gettinthere]

Get them hot and they'll be fine.

[Transamman25]
