anyone have experience with the MT ET drag radials 255/50/16 and how do they compare with hooking and wheel hop issues vs. the bias ply ET Streets 26x10.5-16? Also, anyone run around on either on the street and which do you prefer?

 

I drive with the radials quite a bit on the street and have friends who run the et streets, they're fine as long as it's dry. It's probably not a good idea to mix bias ply in back and radials up front, it can cause the car to wander under hard acceleration.

 

i have ET street radials that i just drive to the track with. since they are taller than my front tires, it causes the car to crab walk/sway over 70 mph when changing lanes and turning.
they axle hop more than bias play ET streets.
they (raidals) don't like to be "shocked" at launch. i could not get a clean launch when i was aggressive. i finally got a decent hook with no hop when i lowered my launch RPM and BOGGED the car. it bogged and got me my best short time. 1.57 on radials with 6M tranny.
the radials will be great for cars that don't shock the drivetrain; i.e. automatic trannies.
if you have a manual tranny, and you want best drag strip performance, get the bias ply ET streets. if you want a radial that does way better than a normal street radial, get the ET Street Radial.
