Those look like Sportsman Pros or Pros, not ET Streets

Right you are Cab,but you'll notice they are DONE!They were usless for me,but I squeezed 3 seasons out of them I am trying the bias E/T streets looking for traction on the street

Thats when the Sportsmans Pros work the best - almost no tread lines to where the cord shows.

They NEVER hooked for me.You can have them

I don't know anyone who has some power that could hook on the Pros or Sportmans Pros The ET Streets are another subject altogether, neck snapping acceleration The tire lifes is determined by the driver

I find that the ET Streets have MINIMAL more traction than a regular tire on the street. I can blow them off like a John Force burnout if I take off like I do at the track. But on well prepped track, they work great for me. So Hemi itis, don't expect miracles with your new tires.

Cab,are you sayin' that I might acually finally get traction in the street???? .....wait

Probally a lot more than you have now with those(Pro or Sportsman Pros) tires on their best day I can spin them on the street, 13.5x30x15 with 15+ lbs in them, they dead hook at 9.0 to 11.0 lbs at the track, 1.41 60 ft. times. If I run 10 lbs on the street they will spin a little and then hook. The ET Street Radials of the same size will not hook on the street with my car The radials are faster at the track(1.39 60 ft last weekend ), when it is good, than the bias plys are If the track is bad the bias plys are easier to drive and race on

How about backing into your own rubber,anyone try that yet??

---

Yeah, I tried it. I did a 10 second tire melting burnout and laid down 50 feet of melted rubber down on the highway on a hot day then backed onto my tracks with my 26x11.5 et streets @ 15 lbs. Net result was worthless, My typical 4500 rpm launch that I can occasionally hook here and there turned into 200' of tire stripes- so for me- there was no gain in traction.

My car will usually run the same 60' on a set of 28x13.50 ET Streets as a set of 28x10 slicks - 1.50-1.52. A new set of 28x13.50 Sportsman Pro's start at 1.70 and stay there till the tread is gone, then I can get 1.55-1.57's out of them. I even got a couple of 1.57's out of a set of "worn out" 28x10.50 Pros a buddy had thrown away. As to tread life, the ET Streets last at least twice as long as the Sportsman Pro's do.

Now for the bad news. Once I went to 325/50/15 MT Drag Radials I'll never go back to a bias ply tire. I can run the same 1.50 60's and the radials feel soooooo much better on the street and top end - none of the bias ply wander and pretty good tread life.

BTW my Signature pic (see attachment) is a 1.51 60' on a set of 26x9 slicks, with only about 7 1/2PSI due to a faulty gauge. Left hard, but would try to do the "Hamster Dance" at about 120+.
