M/t Et Streets On A Gtr?

[RBeed]

hey guys could be a silly question but was just wondering if its worth running all 4 wheels with E/T streets on a GTR to drag on, or just run the rears with the mickey thompson and run a good street tyre on the front?? was told that the side wall on the E/T's arnt very strong so not good for driving on the road cornering etc.

any input would be good cheers

If you see drag racing why are you worried about corners?

Use 4 or none IMO.

I ran 4 Hoosiers, 1.5 60ft times FTW! Depending on the power you don't want the rear to grip and the fronts to spin and you'll be able to launch above 7000rpm easily on drag radials on the rear, which when power goes front, will just have them spin.

you should run the same tyres all round on a gtr otherwise it will throw out the 4wd system with the front and rear wheels rotating at different speeds giving the computer incorrect information

i run Toyo TQs 1.57 60fts

umm cheers guys i relise if your dragging why about corners but was probably gonna roll around on the street now and then as well thats why worried about corners cheers heaps though, and XKLABA i was under the impression that doesnt matter what tyres you have as long as profile is the same should be fine for 4wd? but you could be right. cheers anyways

the tyres should have the same rolling circumference front and rear.

size has to be same width, 235/45/17 and 255/45/17 are a diff diameter but same profile, also diff manufactures have diff casing so even if they are the same size in numbers doesn't mean they are allways the same size in reality, but generally close enough.

how tyre numbes work for those that are interested

255/45/17 as example, 255 is the tread width in mm, 45 means the side wall is 45% of the width and 17 is the size of the rim in inchs

therefore, you will need 235/45/17's on the front and 265/40/17's on the rear to maintain the same rolling circumference.

However, it really is best/recommended to have the same size tyres all round.

Beat me to it lol
