Default Pitt Goodyear Test

Well, these new Drag Radials from Goodyear Racing are the Bomb. I had new sets of ET Streets and Goodyear back to back, in 140 degree track temps and the Goodyears were roughly a half a tenth quicker in the sixty foot than the ET's. You guys will love these things.....give them a shot. They performed so well they let me keep the pre-production pair
Watch for the release in a few weeks !!!

I can't wait till Fall and some 40-50 degree air. Tens all natural, here we come...lol.

Here is a few pics from the day in SGMP.

Just got lucky. The guy in the yellow GTO is Hardcore, a racing friend. He recommended me. Not only got free Goodyears but the new ET Streets we got to keep also.

Actually I forgot to post the pick where you can see the real tread design. Those in the pic above are the new ET Streets they bought us for the test.

Yeah, right on the shocks. Tires are 255/50 x 16" ...Thanks for the comp !

Here is the tire pic and some pics I forgot.









I can post a good pic from one of mine if you want, but I need to clean off all the rocks and crap first.

Sorry Breeze, the pictures made me blow right by your questions. I didn't get any info except on the one I ran. I think we should see something in 3-4 weeks. I will post a pic in a few.

Ok, here you go right off the track, rocks and all. Width measures 8-1/2 +.
I noticed the groves are narrower than ET's. About 1/2 size.




Now remember, this is not the final production sidewall.
