I am running Nittos DR 245/50R16. They hook pretty good on the street and race. Plus i do get caught in a rain shower i stand a good chance. ;)

Also what psi? I run 32 on the street and 18 at the track.

I run Nitto 555r's on the street at 32psi. If I'm racing 18psi.

I have a set of 28" Hoosiers on Draglite's for the track. Althuogh I haven't had a chance to use them yet. I need a rear end first.

I'm running 245 nitto's too, but can't hook for shit with them. They weren't bad before the cam, but now it's hard to catch traction. And on the spray, no way...

Do you guys who are running ET street use tubes in them?

I don't use tubes until I have to get down below 12 psi in the tires. And if you are that low you need more tire anyways!!!

I run Falken FE512s on the street, and have ran several different tires for the track. About to order a set of the MT ET STREET RADIALS, and see how they do, but might order some Nittos, who knows. Hate to run the MTs on the street too much adn waste all that track stuff.

Im running nittos now.... I was running them 4-5 years ago but then i tried et streets, but couldnt stand them for street use since they handled like azz around turns even at 30psi... they hook, but i just like driving to the track and racing to much so im back with nittos now. 26-29psi on the street and 19-21 at the track

my et streets I ran 28-30 on the street and 22 at the track... why 22? Cause the car hooked there so it was no point in going lower and killing top end

Just pulled the tired ET Streets(see above post)and mounted the new M/T ET drag radials(P325-50-15). Car feels MUCH better on the street. We'll see how they do next Sunday at the track. There are guys going mid 1.40's on them after doing 1.60's on the ET Street in an M6... so I'm looking forward to a new best 60' on a decent prep.

Ready for a laugh, everyone? I have Eagle F1's stock size 275/40/17-only bought them cuz I got all 4 shipped to my door for $420 :thumbsup: Great treadwear at 32psi on street. Just went to Byron last Sunday & with my M6 bolt-ons 327RWHP/341RWTQ, I ran 13.33/106.04 w/2.07 60', so this thread is very informative to me in deciding what tires I wanna get if I don't wanna buy an extra set of rims for some DR to say :streetrac I'm thinkin' about Nittos all the way around, but dunno if I want the 555's or 555R's :dontknow:

I got the stock Eagle F1's(not the GS-D3's) hella cheap. Glad I got them cheap because they SUCK! I HATE them. I can't wait until next year to get some better tires for the rear.

Maybe I'll check the air pressure and adjust accordingly.

555Rs are DRs, so get those for the rear, they are supposed to have great tread wear for a DR
