    Need tire opinons

    Well im thinking about going with a different tire for my car on the strip. Right now i run ET fronts and a 28X9 ET Drag out back. I think this may be a little too much tire for me right now. What do you guys think about a 28X11.5 ET Street for the back with some Sportsman fronts. This would allow me to run in DOT approved classes. That ET Street is also 27.6 inches tall which is only .3 inches taller than my current tire. What do you guys think?

    My dad runs the 28x11.50 ET streets. He likes them but they don't hook as good as the slick after they start wearing.

    Ill prolly only put like 20 runs on them this year tops. I think the slicks hook a little too well for my application.
