The local speed shop claims they hook as good as ET Streets and they say one of their cars 60' at 1.28 on them, but have no first hand experience yet with them, but I will buy a pair when the BFGDRs are toast.

I'm using a pair of M/T Indy Profile SS on the rear ,G-60 - 15's for racing.....Drive to the strip with them on , race , drive back with them on....They are bias belted, not radials, so they drive a little different... ...I just heat them up at the line and they give good traction ......

what kind of 60ft. times did u get with the mt indy prifile s/s tires?

I don't do a real heavy burn out, just enough to heat them , maybe 6 to 8 seconds ..... I only come off the line at "0" boost, so my 60ft time isn't too good...I always had a 2.05 - 2.15 60ft with Drag Radials , but the M/T's SS gave me a constant 1.96 60ft... I 'm going to get some M/T SS's L-60 size soon when spring gets here.. I just need a higher stall convertor..
