Whats the difference between DR's (which i have on my car now) and the ET's? I have Nitto's on my car now and its the first other than stock tire I have ever used and of course they made a big diff at the track.

So what is the diff between those and ET's and can I use ET's on the street like I did my nittos?

 

Nobody knows?

 

Do you mean the M/T cheater slick ET Street or the ET DR?

 

Are you talking about ET Streets or MT Drag Radials vs. Nitto DR's? I am assuming you are talking about ET Streets vs Nitto's, if that is the case there as some big differences. The nitto is made for more street use with alittle bit harder side walls and rubber then the ET's. The tread pattern will last alot longer as well, plus ET Streets do not come in sizes over 17" I beleive (last I checked). For the street stick with the DR's for one the ET's side walls will walk on you in cornering and makes handleing fairly shi**y. Not to mention tread wear is not anything to be proud of. I used them for my F Body on teh track only but sometimes I drove on them to get to the track and it sucked driving on those. They grab like crazy though and are DOT legal for the street. But for me they are for the strip only. Alot of old cars and I have seen a few newer styles run with ET's but they are ment for straight line running not cornering. The DR's are alot more for all purpose running and hold up fairly well as a daily driving tire. Thead life is alot shorter then standard Z rated tires but some make them last for up to around 15,000 miles. Be lucky to see 8,000 with the ET's I would think. Oh and pray you never hit rain with ET's on. Now I know nothing of the new Mickey Thompson Drag Radials if you are talking about those.
