Trying to get tires for my draglites, got hooked up with a set of M/Ts for the front 15x3.5s and im planning to get ET Streets (tube type) for the rear 15x8s. Was going to get 275/50s (equates to a 26x11.5 according to mickey thompsons site) i noticed that their ET Drag tires advertise "zero growth" which got me thinking, will growth be an issue with the ET Streets? My car is lowered a couple inches and i already have slight rubbing issues with the tires i have dont want to have problems at the track with fitment issues.

sorry if this is a dumb question, im not very good with tire tech and im tired.


these are the tires, to avoid confusion with the M/T Et Street Radials

the 26x10.5x15 will fit no problem, way way smaller than a 275/60/15. my buddy ran a 28x12.5x15 fit but rubbed like a mofo.

on mustangs you only need to worry about the width clearence, penty of height room, and the upper expansion isnt that much on 10.5 or 11.5 inch slicks, much greater on the +15 inch slicks

I know Mickey Thompson slicks will grow approximately 1 to 1 ½ @ 150mph, not sure with the ET Streets but I assume they will work similar, try giving them a call (330) 928 - 9092 Ext. 2
