I'm getting some slicks finally.

Either some MT ET Streets or some Hoosier QTPs.

26x9.5x16 will be the size.

I was planning on QTPs. I found some for $185 each. ET Streets I've seen for $215 each so far.

Is there even a difference?

In my experience the QTP's hooked better but wore out quicker.

Et street radials or bias plys? I've never used the QTP's.

Used both versions of the MT's. For me I was a solid .05 quicker on bias plys, but they will zap some mph
I think another set of radials are in my future somewhere.

I'm a Micky guy. I too have used both the ET Street bias ply and the radials. I'm a fan of both. The radials are nice if you're going to leave them on for the street and don't want to be hastled by the fuzz, but you won't like either one if it's damp outside.

True story.

Got caught in the rain with bias plys once. Terrifying, worse than ice.

I went with mt just because they have a nicer website :). Not sure how a big company has a crappy site like hoosiers. Also Seems like mt's r more common.

Hooked on the street last night with my new et streets at 4000-4500 ish range. Took down a little 2v on spray too.

I've tried them both, gotta say I liked the Hoosiers better. They definetly hooked better than the mickeys, if your buying a tire like this I take it your not concerned with tire wear. One thing to remember if you drive it with low air in them "9-12psi" its hard on the sidewalls and will eventually begin to leak air directly through the sidewall if you dont run tubes. I've heard of people putting a coating of dish soap on the inside and its supposed to help with the air seeping problem assuming you have no tubes, apparently it will swell the rubber slightly.
