The only thing that hasn’t changed is the tire. This is my second set of M/Ts (325-50-15) in near 25k miles. I drive my car a lot and hard for a street car. Lots of canyon, lots sprinting so I am fairly familiar with them. The tire, gear and motor combo just plain work.
Yes they can be snapped loose in first gear if you want to. But they heat up fast and will hook second gear hard, with not a wiggle in third.
As I recall Greg used to run ET Street Radials (like me) not ET Streets with his best times on 275s
I have run ET Street on other cars, but not on a car I expected to turn a corner.
