MT ET Street users?...dragracing?

What kind of 60 ft times are you guys averaging with these tires?

Also what air pressure do you guys run?

And what RPM do you guys launch at?

thanks for the info.

I have mickey thompsons on my trans am... I run about 10-12 psi depending on my nitrous shot and the weather... street tires i was averaging a 2.2-2.4 60 ft time.. the slicks brought me down into the 1.7 range...

Launching at idle >.<
31*10.5 inch tires

I know its not a rx7.. but it gives you a good idea... so in conclusion... I will buy a set of mt's for my fd when i have the money

Oh another note... i dont use the tubes in them or have them screwed into the rims like some guys do... (the hold air for about a week) I have run them down the highway at like 60-70 mph with 30 psi in them.... It was ok although i wouldent do that often

I went from 1.95 with street tires to 1.65 with ET streets. I launch at 7K with the ET's and I had 15 psi in them

I run 12psi on my ET Streets.

1.55 last year but I should be dropping that down to 1.30's this year.

I launched at 8K last year.

I'll be using a two step this year set at 7K.
