Default MT ET Streets

26x 11.50-17LT 9 11.5
These are the specs for the proposed ET Streets. The sidewall width is 11.5 and the rim called for is 9" width. Any problem with using 17x11 rims?

I don't believe M/T will every come out with the 17" size. I talked to Jeggs this week, they have a delivery date of Nov. 7. It was suggested that M/T may be doing a market survey to see if there are enough customers to go into production.

In answer to your question, let me check my saved email.

A previous email I received from Mickey Thompson back in March.

17x10" is the strongly recommended size, though 17x9.5" up to 17x11" are
approved.

Thanks for the info. They keep moving the date to the next month. I can wait until spring when the tracks reopen. :smash:

They are having a problem with seating the beads during mounting. I wouldn't look for these until Jan.

:iagree:

If you are really interested in ET Streets, you might want to consider getting the 16 inch version. I think the 16 inchers will hook better than the 17s because of the wider sidewall of the tire.
