Ant-Man, how does the car drive with the ET Street SS? I thought I heard someone saying that they feel very loose when cornering. Is that true?

Uhh I run an 18" and I'm not taking corners at 75 sooo it feels no different than my old street tire setup.

I imagine results may vary if you're running a 15" wheel with a ET R or SS.

I appreciate the first hand experience.

Once you go with a drag radial you never go back. A 600HP car with drag radials is faster than a 700hp car on street tires 99% of the time.

I also run an 18" drag radial, on my 4th set, and have for 20k+ miles. They handle "ok" and are definitely driveable, but do not handle well. So if you actually want to do performance driving that involves turns, I would avoid them and compromise with a R888.

I am currently dailying on Michelin 4S and they hook pretty well if I let them get worn first. Twin turbo with 7 psi wastegates, not sure of the whp. If I turn traction control off I spin in first and second just a hair but I wheel hop more than anything so I just ordered a trans/diff cage.
