The are cheaper for a reason. Harder tire compound. On 600rwhp in seond on ET streets i have a problem hooking up in second from a roll. The warmer weather helps, colder weather good luck.

At that kind of power level and beyond, really 15" is the best option. I have had really good luck with the 325/45/17 m&h drag radials however.

From what I have used, the Mickey Thompson ET Street R in 325/50/15 is an absolute monster tire. I love it.

I also had really good luck with the same size in the M&H. The car would dead hook 3rd at 60mph with a 15psi brake boost, making 915 wheel.

LOTS of people rave over the 275/60/15 ET Street Pro, but I have never used them.

Are you an SRA car? If IRS what back spacing did you use to fit 325/50/15s in there? I mocked up a buddies and they were not fitting but his back spacing was for the SRA he swapped in so we couldn't get a proper test.
Even my 295/55/15s needed some fender rolling and things are tight.

I have a 94-98 sra which uses the same spacing as an irs. I use 15x10 with 6.5 backspace.

Anyone using a 325 non drag radial and able to hook at these power levels?

I'd be surprised. My buddy is mid 700s through an auto & SRA swap on 325 MT ETs and he can tear them up. He makes the car work well but you can't just floor it. Have to know how to drive it.

My old car was set up for roll ons. Alot of fine tuning with the suspension to get it to hook on the spray from 40. Tires i like that hooked well were a DR and the hoosier 315. I tried the et streets for awhile but just blew them off on the hit, problem is those and the hoosier they begin to feather from normal driving and not hook as well.
