I plan to put these on then drive to the drag strip, is it ok to drive arround in 13psi cold?

was thinking of putting 25psi cold drive to the strip, then let the air out to whateva pressure is best

I run 30psi on the street, get to the track and run 13-14psi then pump em up and drive home.

Over an hour each way - they're fine as long as it isn't pissing down - they're not very good when it's wet.

Keen on a set of 275/40/17s - later in the year at this stage (will get back to this thread later on that one). But interested to know how the ET Radial would stack up as a 'semi all-rounder' tyre, and by that I mean:

Drag duties (max' 20 passes including burnout)

~2000-3000 Klms of road use (probably once a month and 99.99% in the dry)

Occassional lateral grip use (ie spirited 'legal' cornering on the road)

I would imagine a 275/40/17 ET Radial would be able to exploit it's soft compound and low'ish' profile (provided pressure is at 32-34+psi) to provide a 'reasonable' level of lateral grip, yes?

Perfect! Just what I was hoping to hear Adrian. Many thanks for the info' mate.

Given my intended usage it's hard to go past the ET Radials, especially when you compare the price to other road legal motorsport tyres.

Cheers,

Matt

How do you suppose these would perform if I used them on track days hehe

Ive got nothing comparable to use on the rears atm, some crappy Bridgestone GRID II

They are good in a straight line, but not designed for going around corners.

:D cheers :yes:

well thought so the sidewalls are pretty soft

but they aren't going to collapse and burst if I take a corner hard, right? just like some peace of mind

I can vouch for these tires they hook up bloody good on the street and actually stuffed my clutch on the track cause of the traction - and thats without doing a skid to warm them up!!!

last wednesday i ran a 12.1@121mph 60 footing in the 1.9s - not that great, but the clutch was letting go off the line so i couldnt do much about it the tires didnt spin at all off the line...and thats in a 380rwhp-400rwhp S13 silvia...

using 255 60 16s MT ET streets...

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
