    yeah, you get a little sway, but its not that bad. it will surprise you the first time, but you quickly get use to it.

    Whoah! What speed does the sway stop? You're not still swaying at 110mph are you?

    If you have radials on the front and bias ply on the rear it is going to sway the entire run.

    If you have bias ply on the front and back like me you don't get massive sway.

    Sway is not bad, it just takes a few runs to get the hang of the rear end floating around.

    roger that. i run a radial out front because i have not found a dot legal front tire that is bias ply. and i run in a class that requires dot tires. and luckily et streets are dot legal.

    but as for sway, the main time i notice it is between shifts. otherwise, its nothing horrible. and jeff is 100% right, it does it the full length of the track. i love it when i shift 3-4, thats good stuff!! the traction you get though, far outweighs that slingt annoyance.

    ya the worste part of the sway for me was letting off the throttle after the 1320' and getting onto the brakes. going down the track didnt bug me at all, just finishing lol.

    i dont get the sway until i go under 23psi in the slicks (which ive only done a couple times, and resulted in broken parts lol)

    I run 9-10 psi on the slicks.

    14.5 worked well on the 26" ET Streets.
