I've just installed a set of ET streets, and run about 15# of air, now the car seems a little sqirlly in second & hi gear (turbo 400). Could it be because i have skinny " radials" in the front?

Are you talking about 'on the street' ??

If yes, then jack the tire pressure up to 25-27 lbs and that will help.

Skinny's up front will make the car a lil squirly in the curves and coners...

Also, if your running radial skinny's up front and et's in the back... yes, you will find the car will pull more in the pavement groves & pitches....

ahh, the things we have to put up with to hook and look good eh? lol...

The whole line of tires from MT are bias ply. Their web site even says not to mix radials and bias ply tires. On the track, it's not as big of a deal as your only going a 1/4 mile. On the street you will get some squirly movement from the car. My .02 worth.
