Ron, are you looking at the et street radial(DOT street legal) or radial slick ?like the hoosier. i have used the et street radial for a number of years and been happy though they are sensitive to track prep.they are great on the street just don't go crazy in the wet ,though i have never had issues. i used the 275/60R15,several friends have used the 295/65R15 all with good results they are a BIG heavy tyre.for some reason they are too close to the dogleg on my Plymouth yet they fit fine on a mates 69 Roadrunner.yet i can fit the Hoosier 9.0x30R15 radial slick.go figure

Ron,
I have 295/65/15 ets on my car. They are basically 29.5 inches tall.
After some chassis changes they are dead hooking with the mild motor. They are hooking so hard they exposed major issues in the acc pump circuit that I didnt know existed.
I was running 275/60/15 Et. They hooked decent with the 11.3x motor. But, with the chassis changes I have made, I think they would hook very well now.
72 RR, Pump gas 440, 452s, 3800 lbs, Corked, ET Radials,. 11.33@117.72.
Same car, bone stock 346s, 9.5 comp, baby solid. 12.24@110.

you are already using a radial slick, so tuning is similar....
295-65 MT you cant go wrong, they will last pretty well as a street tire and obviously work very well on the track...295 Hoosier is a little lighter and will wear out a lil faster with street driving, I have been just as fast on both tires
....BAD A$$ STREET CAR.....

Anybody using these like them ? Wondering how good they hook compared to the Hoosier radial slicks I use. I am looking at a set thats 29.6 tall x 10 wide. I want to stay with the radial tire as I like the way they handle on the street better then the bias tires. I really want a taller tire but everything taller gets to wide for my stock wheelwell. Ron
Hi Ron, I use the ET drag radials on my Coronet, 325x50x15's, set at 18 psi for the strip. Excellent hook, have taken pics of me off the line and they DO hook nice. I can't compare them to the Hoosier, but have heard only good things about those as well. Granted, I had to do a mini tub to get them into my wheel wells, but have plenty of room after doing so. No complaints about the M/T's at all. One thing I found out, you don't need to do a John Force burn out to get them to hook... I like that.
Best, Dave
