Default Drag Radials Not Avail

Iv looked all the usual places for a pair of M/T ET Streets in 315 35 17 even ebay with no luck. Everyone says theyr 12 weeks out. In 12 weeks it'll be snowing again!
I like the ET Streets for the good hook and at least some wet road ability. If it rains I know I can home at 40mph. ET Drags maybe not.
Pic is my 600+whp base sleeper granpa Vette with almost done 315 35 17 ET Streets.
It has the stock 6L80e trans. I dont do any hard launches. I do roll races from 50.

Anyone have experience with Nitto NT05 on wet pavement? Can you get home with them?

Where can I get 315 35 17 ET Streets?

Thanks guys

NT05 and NT05R are basically the same tread design but different compound makeup. I would never be caught on wet roads on my NT05R's.

I found a pair of the Mickeys 315 35 17 at a small mom & pop type speed shop called Winners Circle Joliet, IL. Was the only pair of 17s they had. $236 each.
They had a bunch of other drag tires but were 15 inch rim size and those were selling fast.

O P
Thanks.

Ive been caught in the rain with my NT05Rs several times. My general rule of thumb is if i can still use intermittent mode on the wipers theyre fine, if not... pull over
