How far have you driven on ET Streets to track?

What pressure? What speed?

I live about 30-45 min from track... how 'bad' of idea is it to make that drive on ET Streets?

i've never done it, but Killer06GT used to drive 50-90 miles some times thru NYC to go to E-town or Island, never had an issue.

I've driven 40 miles or so back and forth, but they wear pretty fast, since you need to inflate them a bit more than what you have in there for the track...

I've driven on mine for a week straight. at least 300miles.

Luckily it did'nt rain. You should be fine if it does'nt rain, not even drizzle.

I have driven 300 miles round trip quite often on them. I run the tire pressure at 32 psi on the road.

I drove from Palm Beach to Orlando and back on them.


However, pray for no rain. Or you'll be sitting on the side of the road until it stops and drys up.

I actually got caught in light rain once an my way back from the track once. I was extra careful. No sudden moves and I was fine.

Changing tires at the track gets very old, very quickly.

I've driven 20 miles on the expressway each way on them. I emailed Mickey Thompson and the tech guy recommended pumping them up to 28 psi for the trip in our cars.

I drive my M&H 325-45-17's all day long back and forth to the track and around town with no problems. With my ET Drags I got caught in the rain once and OH BOY!!!! What a ride that was back home. Kept it slow but still would stand up in just a little bit of water.
