Default Et streets on 86 rims.

I know the rims are the non Z-51 version. I think they are 8.5?
I have some 315 Drag radials that are shot. I want to get a narrower tire. The 315 fling crap everywhere..What et street are you guys running?

Check in our Drag Race section; the guys are raving about the new MT DRs. They are supposed to hook like crazy yet have much better control at the traps than the old ET Streets.

Rich,
I ran an 26"x10½" E/T Street on a 16x8½" Stock 85 rim before. (Borrowed em' from 88-406). Lemme tell ya, that's some SERIOUS meat! If you can't hook with THOSE badboys, you may have other problems.
I probably should add, currently, I run 255/50 16" BFG DR's on my stock Z52 (16x9½) rims and they hook HARD.

Only gotten a best of 1.85 so far, but I know it's faster, because I've gated a car that usually run 1.75's.

They SHOULD. Hell, I've seen cars run 1.0x 60' on BFG Drag Radials.
Tell your 4yo that he has good taste

Keep this in mind, the ET streets are TALL. Mine run about 27.25-27.5" in height. This will alter your rear ratio.
