Do any of you guys here use them? Or more importantly, BF Goodrich Comp T/A Drag Radial? This thing doesn't look any different then by burnt-down in the center T/A I have on there now! Whats the difference between the Comp T/A and a Radial T/A with a few burnouts on it?? As far as the MT E/T Street, whats the deal with tubes? Are they hard to install? Expensive or Unreliable? I guess what I'm getting to is: Is it worth it to go buy a set of rims and cheater slicks? My buddy's putting a ZZ502 in his Elky and were looking at possible traction aids over the Radial T/As..... Thanks to all who reply and happy motoring!

Drag radials are made from a softer rubber than comp ta's, so they stick much better.

ET Streets are better yet because they are wrinkle wall tires, and softer yet than drag radials.

You do not NEED tubes with ET Streets, I use them without tubes and they work great. I really like them. If your going to be racing at the track and want good 60' times then yes a set of rims and slicks is a good investment!

If your looking for a street tire thought, I would recommend AGAINST getting a set of ET streets. Drag radials will be ok on the street but they wear out very fast because of the softer rubber.

Have you noticed any improvments at the track with your slicks? I.E., Total E.T., Better 60'....etc Thanks again!

I have never used the Drag Radials.

However going from some regular street tires to my ET Streets my 60' drops from an avg of 2.2 to an avg of about 1.82 with some wheel spin (no VHT) Once I get some more tuning done this summer i'm hoping to get that down to about 1.75 or better.

There is NO comparison between a set of regular street radials, and a set of ET Streets. With street tires I have to baby it half way down the track to keep from smoking the tires off, with the ET Streets on a poorly prepped track with no vht I drop the hammer right off the line and usually only get about one rotation before they hook. With vht on the track i'm sure it will dead hook.
