Do they hook just as good as each other? Do either last longer then the other?

Thanks,

Tony

Stick to the 26 10.5 ET Street they are cheaper and will hook better.

From Summit the DRs are 148 a piece and the ET Streets are 168.

That's 235/60s vs. 26x10.50s...Those were the ones with the closest dimensions.

I'll probably take your advise and stick with the ET Streets.

Thanks Don...

the et street radials should hook really well, i'm betting as well as the et street bias-ply

i have felt the tire compound, it's just like a bias-ply et street.

they should last equally as long, the biggest thing to consider is how much street driving you'll be doing.

radials up front and bias-ply in back = crappy handling at best.

I've heard the MT drag radials hook better than the et streets, and they'll be stable at the top end etc. being that its a radial tire.

I currently have 165-15s up front with the ETs in the back and it does kinda feel like it's all over the place at high speeds.

Fortunately I don't drive it too much.
