88lx5oh Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 I just ordered som 17x9.5 race star rears for the stang and looking for a mostly drag strip tire, but if I want to street it I can. No I won't travel far on them. Looking really hard at MT ET Street R. Really wanting bias ply since I have a stick car. Your suggestions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKilbourne Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 I will need your full write up on those if you get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robochan Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 From my limited knowledge bias ply doesn't have puncture resistance like a radial tire does. If you do any street driving I believe you may run the risk of getting a flat from road hazards or minor pot holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88lx5oh Posted January 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 i guess you can get them them in either bias or radial. maybe ill go with the radial. i just hear the bias are better for the stick cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88lx5oh Posted January 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 well you can't get a bias ply in a 17" ET Street R anyway. so i guess its between a radial version of that soo.... MT ET Street R 305/45 17 (27.8" tall ,87" roll out) M&H Race Master Drag Radial 275/50 17 (28" tall tire, 88" roll out) or just say fuck it and get a hoosier slick 28x10x17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssFo Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Slick will be your best bet, but you "shouldn't" use that on the street. If you want some street traction also then the ET Street Radial is your best bet. I picked up a set myself (345/30/18). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboRust Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 only do bias if you're going to bolt them on at the track or trailer it there. otherwise at your power levels do a mickey as wide was you can in a radial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88lx5oh Posted January 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 definitely wouldn't run a slick on the street. are the M&H a better fit for a stick car? thats what I'm hearing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
