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...

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
