There has been a lot of good discussion on tires around here lately. Thanks for the help deciding which size drag radial to get. Now it is time to put my money where my mouth is. I'm going with a 26" tall tire on a 16" stock wheel. Which do you like better the M/T ET Street Radials or the BFG G-Force Drag Radials? Let me know what you think.

M/T for strip duty, Nittos for a driver.

The MT drag radial has very soft rubber compound and a minimum of tread grooves.It should be very sticky on dry pavement.I've seen the tire at the speed shop ,but haven't actually tried a set yet.The BFGs work good but are old technology compaired to the new MTs,the performance edge will probably go to the newer MT tire.

i haven't had any experience with the bfg's but i know that mt make's good slicks and street et's. i'd go with mt...

It looks like most people really like the M/Ts. The F-Body guys say they hook like hell. Wear is not an issue and neither will be wet use as I will carry them to the track and install there. Thanks for the help!

I'll have a detailed comparison because I made the swap from bfgs to the mickeys, and tomorrow is the first trip to the track with them. I'll post up the results.

They hook very well. My dad is pulling 1.69 60's on his C5 with the stock converter. But they are about as streetable as ET streets

That would be great! Thanks.

Have you thought about Nitto 555r's? They worked awesome on my WS6.

Yesterdays comparison. The et streets seem to warm up faster/less effort than the bfgs did. They hooked very consistently for me compared to the bfgs. I noticed they had a tendency to sway some down the track, while the bfgs drove more like street tires. I was also getting alittle swirly on my 1-2 shift, which probably has more to do with the track than the tires.
On a side note, Goshawk23 had great success hooking my bfgs this weekend. When I post up the vids, you can see how well he hooked on them, as well as how well I hooked on the et streets.
