ET street question
#32
Since I have a Radix, I do everything I can to control IAT's. If I have my IAT's out of control before my run starts (too long of a burnout), then my ET will suffer. So for my setup, I think I will be better off with tires that allow a shorter burnout. At least, that's how I picture it in my mind.......make any sense?

Then if that is the case I would look for a FULL out drag slick.. A radial will prob be a harder compound.. If you go to the makers page I am sure there is a chart that shows what compound is used. Then all you have to do is find the softest one.. It will get sticky the fastest..

I have always been told that a DR usually needs a shorter burnout than a slick. I know that when I had BFG DR's on my Z28, longer burnouts ended up giving me less traction, similar to street tires. They worked best with just a short clean-up burnout.
That was about 10 years ago, and I'm sure that the new technology in the new DR's (and slicks) is better than it used to be. So I was looking for some "real world" experience from fellow members here before I make my decision.
Thanks for all your input guys. If anyone can add their experiences with these tires, it would be appreciated.

Dude a ET street is a hookin *** tire. Spin the water off, dry hop once and your good to go. M&H are good too. But personally Et Street is the best bet. Plus its the fastest drag radial in the world right!
