For about 2300 delivered you can get the CCW Drag Package complete with rear wheels ET streets, bias ply skinnies that work with the setup.

I just got mine this week! :party:

It is not recommended. Running bias ply with radials is a :nono:

I thought I could dump the BFG Comp Drag radial & substitute them for the ET street for I already have the 17" ccw rear wheels, I guess untill I get the coin for a complete set of ccw drags I'll continue to use the BFG Comp's. x 17

Thanx all :cheers:

Last time I was at Carlsbad Raceway I saw a Mustang loose control and smack the car in the next lane in the door. When they got the car back to the pit area, I noticed he had M/T ET Streets on the rear and regular street tires (bias) on the front, bad combination. Now I am a believer, even though I have seen people mix them on many ocassion without a problem.
