M/T ET street R’s
Does anyone have any experience with the M/T ET Street R’s? Most of the info I could find was on the s/s. I’m in the market for a new set of DR’s street/track (never in the rain so that’s not a factor) Just curious to see what others run, opinions? Reviews? C5 Z06 Procharged |

I tried a set of 275/17's & was able to get a 1.51 60 ft n/a. They hook well but I would not recommend for much street driving.
would you steer toward the Et street s/s than? i only put about 1000 miles a year on, if that. Handful of track days if i'm lucky, but mostly street miles |

I had SS's on last year, they did better on the street but did not hook as well on the track.
Assuming a lot better than a summer tire. Have you noticed a considerable loss in performance in cornering with them (know they aren't made for that) |
what kind of driving will you be doing on the street?... if you mainly do rolls the s/s will do great at that power level... I can dead hook 50-60 rolls and from a dig they will break look at about 5-5500rpm but from second gear on they hold, with your power they very well may hold all of 1st gear.. I have never used the "r" but I would like to get a set to use for the track or half mile events so I can use all of 1st gear

Rolls or digs. Mostly rolls I’d say. it would just be nice to have something hold 2nd at least. I do a cruise once a month with some buddies, nothing crazy but they are twisty back roads. How are taking corners on s/s? Sketchy? Like I said nothing crazy it’s not like we’re going all out. |

C5 Z06 Procharged I have them on my 10 second street truck and with Toyo's I was going sideways with half gas in 2nd gear. Now I can hit 2nd gear at 50mph and she runs straight as an arrow and pulls hard. I have run them on my 10 second vette too and they hold great. I was told to stay clear of the SS. I thought they were the same compound. Anyway...you will like the R |
Street SS will not hook on the street for you below 3rd most likely. My NA 530whp with 4.10s doesn’t get traction until half way through 3rd with street SS tires. Testing M&H racemasters now....not going great.....probably try street Rs next. Good luck in the hunt for traction!!!!

Street R's would hook better at the track for me then the S/S's, consistent low 1.5's on the R's consistent mid 1.5's on the S/S's. I could overpower and spin the S/S's occasionally on the launch, never had that issue with the R's. On the street it was the opposite, S/S's would hook better then the R's. Both are terrible if you get caught in the rain.

Awesome, thanks for the input put in an order for the M/T S/S 305 40 18, hope they don’t rub! Should be be here Thursday or Friday |
I am running the 305/35-18 SS on my car, 640/640 at the tire, 4L65 and the car hooks like crazy on the street so far, this in cooler weather as well.
Hope to get to the track soon. I think you'll have good results with those tires. |
