throw some pros and cons at me, i gotta order these by early next week.
Like I said, all I plan on doing is throwing them on right at the track, if i go with the Et streets, can I take it somewhere and have them balanced no problem?

Depends what you plan on in the future. If you're only going to run NA, the drag radials will run quicker becasue the ET Streets will be too much tire as far as traction. But like mentioned earlier, the drag radials will weigh atleast 10 lbs more per tire than the ET streets.
You said the drag radials? do you mean the ET street radials that thunderracing offers? if so, why would they be quicker than the ET streets? And yes i am always NA.

I think again not sure, the main difference is the ET Streets are not belted, therefore they compress far more, so it causes you to use alot more power before you get them to expand so you drive normally, where as a radial would have belts holding its shape under weight better. Picture is launcing on a tire with 5psi vs 25psi.
I'm really not sure here, but I would guess thats where the difference is. Someone else?
Ok so i just got off the phone with thunderracing and they said in terms off track use the ET Streets will hook about as good as the ET street radials but he reccommends the street radials because you can drive them on other roads besides the track....what do u guys think. I have 4.10s and I need to hook, no if ans or buts

What kind of mods do you have? I wouldn't go with et streets unless you got some major power. I run drag radials on my T/A and its only pushing 345rwhp.

Depends on whether or not you are planning on adding a lot more power to the car in the future. If you are going to be racing a lot and will keep modifying the car to make it run 12's get the ET Streets. If you are done modifying the car and it only runs low 15's to somewhere in the 14's, get the drag radials. I've had both. The DR's were good for me until I started hitting low 13's to high 12's. After that, it was ET Streets all the way.
Ok, well my mods are basic CAI and exhaust with headers and !cat with 2.5" piping. I have 4.10s with LSD. I have ported and polished heads with the GT2 cam. I have a texas speed tune. I have a B&M ripper and my car is a M5.
Right now I have Z06 rims with 275/40 tires, but with the 4.10s I cant really launch the thing at all. I wanna raise it to like 2500 and just drop the hammer. Im guessing that my quarter mile is low 14s

OK so I think ive decided on the ET Streets. What do I need to know now about tubes? are they required or can I by the tire straight form the website and balance them on the salad shooters?

that use to be the case
I run the DR and DD them (till the motor blew) the car on those no problems running low 12's.... only spun one time when track prep sucked bad (really really really bad)
the MT ET street RADIALS HOOk HARD, people have pulled 1.4 60's on them
