ET Streets are better than any drag radial out there. They are basically a slick with 2 tiny groves to make them dot legal. Quick explosive power like nitrous will not hook hard even with those e.t. streets. They do all they can but when the axle is wraping and the suspension is not designed to hold that kind of power then even the stickiest of all tires will not always the answer.

 

I like the M/T drag radial over the M/T ET streets or ET drags. I have tried them all and the M/T street radials definitely hook better on the street by far.

 

How do they do on the track compared to the ET Streets?

 

I herd the same thing. The M/T drag radials hook better. It didn't make since, So I just bought a pair. I hope they are right.

 

I find it hard to believe a RADIAL will hook better than a softer compound slick. I could be wrong but I'll stick with the ET Streets.

 

Take a look at my sig pic those are a set of M/T street radials on there.

 

Well, I checked out MT's webite and I will have to say that the ET Street Radials DO use a softer compound vs. the ET Streets. The Radials use a R2 compound and the ET Streets use a M5 compound.
