Who has experience with ET Streets?

I just got a set with tubes.

What kind of psi are you guys running?

Do you have them mounted on the stock wheels?
If so, did you have to drill out the valve stem to 5/8?
If not, what kind of wheels are you running?

Last question, does anyone have problems with the tire slipping on the wheel? I've heard that drag racers (using slicks) often bolt the tires to the wheels becuse the wheels slip inside the tires...

thanks,
kyle

I'm sorry i don't have any answers, i'm just wondering what ET streets are. I'ver never heard of them. And damn, that must be some crazy power (and traction!!!!)to spin the wheels inside the tires. That would be impressive, slow, but impressive.

Don't worry, you won't have to bolt the tires to the wheels unless you're making hella power and didn't seal the tire good.

It's been over 2 years since I ran on slicks but I think I ran them at 18psi.

I have ET street for next year... but have heard that about 14 psi is good. ASK ErineT... he jsut got into the 10's with them I think.

Expect 1.6 to 1.7 60 fts times with a high rpm launch.
And do not use screws into the tire...
