As opposed to the tubed ET Streets everyone has? I noticed they make a 255-50-r16 radial, but they don't make the tubed ET Streets for a 16" wheel.. Anyone run these tires?
I have 28/11.5/15 ET's-Tubeless!! They work nice on the track,,but suck in the rain!! I hit a puddle in a rain storm doing 45mph and the back end started to hydro plane back and fourth for a few seconds
i run 275/60-15 street radials. I really like them, they hook great and are very stable. I dont drive my car but in good weather so not sure how the wet traction is. I cut a 1.70 60' on these in a nitrous stick car, a buddy does low 1.4's off a transbrake on the same tires. They favor the auto cars but on the streets they hooked just as good as 26x10 et drags but these are stable and handle much better,
I have BFG 275-50-16 Drag Radials, and I love them!
They hook like gangbusters.
They handle well the rest of the time, they are marginal in the rain, but manageable, if you have to get home. Much better than my earlier MT Indy Profile SS tires with full tread. This is a 4.10 geared car with a converter, so it puts power down at low mph almost no matter how careful you are.

I have BFG comp t/a's right now, 245/50/r16... it's ridiculous how horrible my traction is.. I run them at 20-24# on the street and I pretty much can't hook up until 3rd gear. Other people have had luck with them so it could just be my car (stiff suspension+no weight in rear=no traction). I was thinking about getting a set of G-Force t/a's next time.. or nittos... or mt's.. can't decide.
