60tf times on MT ET streets

[Scholzey]

i've ordered some mickey thompson ET street radials in 225/50/15 to go on my second hand 15x7 te37's that im getting from japan.

just wondering if anyone has experience with these tyres and how close to slick 60ft times i should expect. i've done 1.717 on an old set of worn 22inch slicks.

i get 2.05 60ft with my old rubbish 215 40 17's on my current wheels.

is 1.70 resionable for fresh et streets? if i can get mid 11's on street tyres would be good. get me on hpi street tyre fwd list :P

let me know :P cheers

Back in the days We did 1.79 - 1.83 60ft on BF Goodrich drag radial 205/50/15
Having 225/50/15 will help alot aswell

i guess i'll aim for 1.7's and if i get 1.8, i'll have to be happy :)

anything between 1.7-1.8's is decent on the mt's streets..i used to average 1.8-1.85,best was 1.77 that was on 205's though.

well i'll keep you guys updated :)

just fried my clutch on wednesday trying a second gear start at the drags... so gotta get my new clutch in, then i'll be out there with my new tyres.

just to let you guys know, i got 1.84 60ft on the 225/50/15 mt et street radials, in full weight ek hatch. first time out on drag radials, so i think ive got a little improvement to make with tyre pressures and stuff. kept tyres at 15psi for the night.
