Sticky - icky - icky's w/ Pics
15x8 Weld Prostars w/ 275/60 Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials
I've been puttin' around town with these for a few days and I've gotten crazy looks and great compliments. I was going 55 mph with these in the rain on I-275 and they gripped well
.
Because they're DOT, I was think of buying some pancakes for the front and riding out like that. It looks mean as hell
.
I haven't rubbed a fender yet, even over hard bumps. I think they will on a good launch so I'll probably roll/cut the fenders. They're 28" diameter!
*Old set-up sold*

Jay..looks great and I agree a set of skinnies on the front. If the tires look as close to the fender in person as they do in the pics,I would definitely cut/roll those fenders. When you launch at 5K plus,that *** end squats....

I'm going out the 21st or 22nd.
This will be the last time out with the 150 shot. The next day I'll start putting on the Turbonetics kit and then send it to Performance Factory for a tune. Should be ready by 9/30 for the event.
Now, we just need to figure out what size shot to use on top of that to produce around 480lbs of torque.
Oh, and still with factory exhaust!

That's crazy! I nearly killed myself in a light drizzle with my drag radials, and I was driving slowly! If they work that well for you they're worth every penny!

I was pissed there wasn't enough room to see when they let loose in the rain. I think the curved tread pattern at the edge of the tire is what makes a huge difference between the ET Streets and the ET Street Radials.
The track is 35 mins. away and swapping tires was getting old. I barely drive the car so i figured these gave me the best of both worlds.

And yeah, tapping the rev-limiter through the trap is getting old.
