I’m bout to go back to the Street SS now that I have separate tires and rims for track and u have to be super careful with the RR in heavy rain

I had a similar experience. Ran the ET Street S/S for about a year and it would spin 9/10 on a street launch. I am now using the ET Street R for the past month on the same roads and it hooks much better. Lowered my 60ft by 1 tenth of a second. Its a very good radial. I am sure on the track it will be awesome too.

Thanks for posting! I also have a Silverado and getting ready to buy tires and looking at S/S versus the R....how are the R's driving around town now that you've had them on for a little bit? I am looking to run the 315 60 15's on the R, versus the 295 if I went S/S. I've also been reading both these tires can have a slight to severe vibration above 70mph due to defects...you notice anything so far?

@@FrogsGarage that was a wtf if i ever seen one .

Be careful. I called Mickey thompson tech and they said ET street R has nylon belts instead of steel belts like SS. She said the R is not recommended for any prolonged street driving, just to track and back, not a daily driver or a fwy car and never long distance..Tech said the R can overheat and possibly cause a blowout, and the tire wears out fast. SS doesn't hook as well but much safer on street and they hook better when warm. I have driven SS tires everywhere and never an issue. Reviewer on summit racing said his ET street R's blew out on fwy after 100 miles, and he never had any issues with ET STREET SS TIRES.. Just a word for the wise.. Now i am weary of using the R"s on my fuel injected 438windsor 68 mustang cause i drive the car on fwy and lotta street driving on weekends only, but still. The summit racing review who said he blew his R out on fwy after 100miles has me worried. I have run et street ss tires 18-20psi for years on street and never an issue. I dont want to be worrying about a blow out on fwy with et street R's, even though it probably wont happen its more likely with R over SS.

What’s the rim’s name?

That’s not the socket my man. That’s from the balancer cone they put on it to hold it to the balancer. I would put money on it that, the rubber lip that is supposed to be on that cone is missing or worn out.

When dealerships hire $16 hr employees in the shop your wheels get fucked.

markings on your rims are from the wheel rim clamp on the wheel balancer not the nut socket.
