et street, hell no to rain



et street radial, not as horrible as everyone claims



nitto 555r, much better than the m/t in rain







I'm now on the PRO and don't even want to see a storm cloud. after this set is done, I'm going back to the M/T street radial as it has been my favorite. the 555r is the best "all round" performance tire but dry traction doesn't compare to the M/T. my toy isn't anywhere close to a daily driver.

This is the one im talking about:
I called mickey thompson and they claim same traccion then the ET street Radial but more sizes and better traccion on wet road

I like that tire. maybe i'll try it next instead of going back to the et street radial. same compound with a different tread design specifically designed to fight hydroplane.

Same here, i really like my 20 inch wheels and theres just not a lot available for tracction on that size, i was about to change wheels till i saw this tire, im on a 555r right now but there gone and they cant really handle my turbo so i wana try the m/t next see if it at least a little better

Did MT give you any word on when the ET street S/S would be available? I've been eyeing the 295/65/15.

Also, I believe Quik has experience with the old generation ET street radials in 20s. Don't think he had much good to say about them, but you can confirm with him.

sidewall helps...20" wheel takes up all of your sidewall.

i just checked and there available at jegs in the size i need them, at summit i can order them and would get them in a week

I agree sidewall has a lot to do with tracction

Same, same. No problems in the rain (driving sanely) and mine is a true DD.

305/45/18 is 2.7" shorter than what I have now.... I'm running the 285/60/18 with 4.56s.
