As the OP indicated in post #10, he's running M/T ET Street S/S. These are NOT drag radials, and the M/T site includes this:
ET Street S/S
A street tire that can be driven on the track....
ET Street S/S from Mickey Thompson is a high performance street to strip tire with radial construction, R2 compound and more; 15- to 20-inch fitments.
- D.O.T. approved for street use.
- Equivalent Tread Void as the ET Street Radial II, redistributed for improved hydroplane resistance while providing plenty of tread contact for excellent dry traction.
- Proven R2 compound, the same proven compound used on the quickest "drag radials" on the planet provides superior traction at the strip while little or no burnout required.
