there you go i was talking bout MT ET Street Radials, not ET streets et streets are DOT approved but they dont state that they are street legal but et street radials are doesnt matter anyway 10s on any sort of street tyre is damn impressive!!

well i went 11.98 on mt streets... only 112.99mph though.. dunno if that counts i cant believe 11.5 at 115mph on full street tyres with 18's!!!!!!!!!!

Any replacement tyre needs to have a load and speed rating that exceeds the ratings on the placard in the car. Its on the vicroads website. Its a crap technicality but thats how it is. Ill be running them again once the new car is on the road. I think any DOT approved tyre should count as a street tyre.

VLMUZZA what rims do you have your mt's on? I wish there was a way to fit them onto calais wheels Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

he's got them on stockies..

simple, just get your calais rims widened thats what im doing as i have heaps of spare calais rims im taken them to 8-8.5" dont want to much attention....

look on the mickey thomson web site http://www.mickeythompsontires.com/strip_et_street.html they ARE D.O.T approved

how much does it cost to have a calais rim taken from 6 inch to 7 (i assume mt street radials will fit on that)

i didnt think you could widen an alloy?

They have to meet different regulations. thank you again. none of the mt series tyres are allowed, they are not a street legal tyre. all hail MAX PSI, i can see this record standing for a while. what gearbox are you running ? and for all those that want a thread for each state, only 3, yes THREE, mexicans in the top 10.
