compared to a wrinkle wall bias ply?I surey wouldn't consider an ET Street as a stiff wall tire
Ok, I see we are talkin two different animals here. The ET Street Radial must be fairly new
radials are radials, and there's "stiff wall" bias-plys, and "wrinkle-wall" bias plys. i believe both the et streets and qtps are stiff walls, and of course theres an et street RADIAL too.compared to a wrinkle wall bias ply?
Yea, That's what I thought.
The NT555R, NT05R, BFG Drag, MT ET Street Radial, Toyo Proxes TQ... all "stiff wall" drag tires.
Not over kill or anything! lolthe best drag radial you can buy hands down is the MT pro 275 3475X
Yeah, I know plenty of people that have ran stock axles on tons of 5k launches. I just had a crappy one I guess, snapped off right past the splines.F8tlfiveo I had 140,000 mile axles going 1.6-1.7 60's for many years. Then put Ranger axles in and the 3rd hit I snapped one. Axles are hit or miss.
haha might as well do it once and do it rightNot over kill or anything! lol
He said he didn't want to break his axles. Plus I'm really not sure how long those will last on the street.haha might as well do it once and do it right
So i take it your real vote is for a bias ply et street? Would i be able to get a full season or more out of them going to the track 2 to 3 times per month? Tubes or no?honestly axle wise he would be better off on a slick. a good radial is going to be MUCH MUCH harder on driveline parts. things like nittos will be ok since they pretty much suck as a drag radial. but a mickey... hoosier... mickey pro... all of them will be hard on axles
No doubt. I've seen drag radials destroy 31 spline axles on a low horsepower car before.honestly axle wise he would be better off on a slick. a good radial is going to be MUCH MUCH harder on driveline parts. things like nittos will be ok since they pretty much suck as a drag radial. but a mickey... hoosier... mickey pro... all of them will be hard on axles
I had tubes in the Hoosiers. I made about 30 passes/probably 20 street races(I was young/dumb) and put about 500-750 street miles on them. They were used up probably slightly before I stopped using them. So I would think for your intended use I believe they would last the summer/season.So i take it your real vote is for a bias ply et street?
