so you did run the ET streets on the street, and I guess I could expect it to be similar to my ET radials now? thanks btw

Neeeeeeeee-AWWWWWWWWWNNNN! (Sorry, couldn't resist.)

I don't see why it'd be a problem, really. They're basically made to give you something DOT-legal to drive on to/from the track without having to swap wheels/tires when you get there. They don't last very long with daily driving, but if it's just a weekend toy, then ... why not?

i run aorund on some 26x10.5 et streets and moroso ds2 front tires most of the time

on the street if you run about 20psi in the rears your fine .

the only reason i do it tho is 1 - the welds looks mean , 2- the car is stupid scary with street tires if im trying to get on it

Sure, as long as it doesnt rain. Becuase if it does you cant do over 30mph, and thats going in a straight line. Never mind turns!
