    Those marks are from the balance machine hub nut thingy. What they use to tighten the wheel to the machine!

    I had a similar experience. Ran the ET Street S/S for about a year and it would spin 9/10 on a street launch. I am now using the ET Street R for the past month on the same roads and it hooks much better. Lowered my 60ft by 1 tenth of a second. Its a very good radial. I am sure on the track it will be awesome too.

    Had a Local tire shop mount tires on my brand new wheels. Let them know before hand if it’s something they can’t do without damaging the wheels it’s fine I will find another shop. Guy insisted he could do them and gouged the paint off the whole lip around one of the rims mounting some nittos. And continued to the next one and did the same thing! Luckily I walked in the back to make sure everything was okay and made him stop immediately. I hate to be that guy to complain and ask for a reimbursement but we work hard for these parts for our cars and we want everything to be nice. After some back and forth ended up getting a check from the company for two new wheels.

    Maybe it's from when they balance the wheels on the machine. Sometimes they just spin the damn thing to tighten in the hub of the wheel and don't center balance the wheel when tighten causing it to get hit

      Yea i am aware it is same compound but also different belt makeup to make the tire itself softer and more flexible. When I had both of them the ET street R had less overall belts and more poly belts but yes as far as the rubber compound its same

    My fuel injected 438windsor 68 mustang 3k lbs big stalled th400 410 gears cal tracs shocks and traction bars 505wheel on e85 and ET STREET SS tires will not hook full throttle even from a slow roll. Car is a weekend street strip so not worried about rain. I raced a Tesla Plaid and neck and neck till SS tires lost traction and i was going sideways. I am gonna try the R's 275/60r15 and hopefully next time i can give plaid a race...lol
    When i add a Novi2k the car will make 700wheel low boost. Should be good for high 8's.
    Will the R' last a long time on a weekend street strip car that never driven in rain?

    Be careful. I called Mickey thompson tech and they said ET street R has nylon belts instead of steel belts like SS. She said the R is not recommended for any prolonged street driving, just to track and back, not a daily driver or a fwy car and never long distance..Tech said the R can overheat and possibly cause a blowout, and the tire wears out fast.
    SS doesn't hook as well but much safer on street and they hook better when warm. I have driven SS tires everywhere and never an issue.
    Reviewer on summit racing said his ET street R's blew out on fwy after 100 miles, and he never had any issues with ET STREET SS TIRES..
    Just a word for the wise..
    Now i am weary of using the R"s on my fuel injected 438windsor 68 mustang cause i drive the car on fwy and lotta street driving on weekends only, but still.
    The summit racing review who said he blew his R out on fwy after 100miles has me worried.
    I have run et street ss tires 18-20psi for years on street and never an issue. I dont want to be worrying about a blow out on fwy with et street R's, even though it probably wont happen its more likely with R over SS.

    • @FrogsGarage
      @FrogsGarage  10 месяцев назад +1

      Yea do what u feel is best I drive 78 miles one way on interstate to work and back all time. I haven’t had an issue myself with the R’s and I’m normally running like 20-22lbs as well. I will say I am going to switch back to the SS just cause I did get caught in rain one time on way to race and 360d the truck because had standing water on the road even though was putting 35mph

I am looking to run the 315 60 15's on the R, versus the 295 if I went S/S.

    What they did on the front wheels isnt from the sockets. its from the tire balancer. They put a big cone over the front of the wheel (its circular shaped) and they overtightened it. Its used to fasten the wheel to the tire balancer. Usually these cones are made out of steel or made out of composite plastic with a rubber lip so the wheel doesnt get damaged. The fact that the mechanic didnt use the rubber-lip version shows how much they care about the quality of their work. I would be LIVID if i were you. Sheer carelessness on the dealerships end.

      even the ET Street Radial Pro is DOT approved street legal however they recommend for drag use only

      ET Street S/S and ET Street R are street legal, ET Street Pro is NOT…simply a DOT stamp for class racing but says “Not intended for highway use” right on the sidewall, just FYI 🤷🏻‍♂️
      Those handy dandy 2 lines going all the way around the center of your Rs (instead of just the dashes like Pros) are what give them water ‘voids’ to make them JUST pass as street legal👌🏼
