ET Streets are freakin awesome. They will hook for sure, probably with about 18 p.s.i. They, in my opinion are the best D.O.T tire available. Just do a GOOD burnout and they are ready.

i'm running the 26x11.5x16 on factory alloy wheels. on a well preped track i run them about 23psi. i have 2/4 drop, stock shocks. my best 60' is 1.78 and i cross the traps @ 5700. they are some good dot slicks and will last you a good while.

If you have drums on the rear these would probably fit. You and get any size you want in a 15" and most likely buy some used tires that will do you just fine for dirt cheap. I'm probably going to buy some of these 6*5.5".

I can see downtown on my friends dock. Maybe 15-20 minutes from downtown. 30 minutes from Jax beach.

That is similar to the wheel I plan on getting but I have disc on the rear so I need it in a 16'' wheel. Thanks all.

Thumbs up

I have a set of drag radials, 255-50-16 on 16" AR 767's. They hook prety good! They helped me to run 13.24 on a cool night. I'm hoping for 12's on a cool day, with race gas!

so us 05 drum guys don't have to run 17s on the rear? The answer to that is what I really want to know. I am looking to buy two rims and tires for the track soon.
