Useful life of MT ET streets?

[GTP4MNCE]

I use some MT ET Streets at the drags. The set i have are now a couple years old and i think they have lost their stickyness as i can feel a bit of wheelspin at times. I keep them off the ground and covered in the shed. I take it these tyres 'go off' after a certain amount of time correct?

[JezzaB]

Like any tyre they become harder then they should be over time. If you can feel them slipping more then they use to then get some new ones

[GTP4MNCE]

ah damn. They arent cheap either

I think i read somewhere u can buy some sort of conditioner or rubber softener?? or is that bollocks?

[Phizzle]

Be sure to post up pics and videos of skids showing their final demise to please the masses who now get there kicks in a controlled environment

have you tried dropping tyre pressure more to reduce the wheelspin!!!different track conditions!!!! never tried this stuff dont know how much !! if it works etc only seen it for sale in my rocket catalogue!!!!cheers

All my adventures into back to back 1.41’s and the mind numbing 1.3.9 sixty foot in a drive to the track white 6L Ute have been done on 2 year old MT DR’s…this coming weeks Sundays HSV Day will see those same MT DR’s , now 4 years of age chasing even lower numbers…keep you posted. ....as per normal exactly 22psi.

bring them back to life with a nice big burnout

22psi? Really? What size?

[dogsballs]

21-22psi for me as well, 235/60/15

I run 16psi cold which is about 18psi hot on my 3 year old et streets which are worn well into the wear indicators , still doing a 1.5 60ft , work Ute

235 60 15's NA
275 60 15's N20

[white lie]

21-23 (depending on track conditions) in my 18"s. 1.5 60 footers in my barge. Anything under 20 hurts my MPH

[DuncanCV8]

um ok, I'm running 275/60/15's but only at 15psi, most of the guys i've spoken to are around 16-17psi . . .

I'm guessing the most improvement is in the MPH? i'm already on the verge of going up in smoke off the line so i don't really wanna raise it

Any more details on the combo? Power, suspension, auto/manual, types of launches, track condition etc
Any idea why you're struggling for traction with higher pressures?

Any more details on the, suspension,
