NEW Product: Mickey Thompson ET Street Drag Radials!!
-
Henry,
Will they hook as good as ET streets? I need some new tires for Phoenix, are they worth trying, or should I stick with the 28X12.50X15 ET Streets? What size are those?

I don't have a ton of info on these tires---just yet. I will say that they are very gummy and will first be available in a 275/60/15. A few cars will be testing them at the PSCA finals and I'll post more info on them as I get them.
Personally, I don't think my car will slow down one bit over the ET Streets.
-
One way to find out. Bring it to Carlsbad on the 22nd and find out. The loser buys dinner and drinks:D

Me waits patiently for 17" varients.
-
sweet! I'll try a set. that happens to be the size i ran last year.
-
I'm still on the list for the 17 inch'ers Steve. I'm going to mount them on my 17X9 cobra R's and run a 9 on them. I can't wait to see the look on the people's faces when my stock looking coupe runs that fast with the cobra R's on all the way around.
-
where can we pick up a set? any 16"ers out there?
-
The New MT is a sweet piece. In my heavier (3700lb+) Chevelle the Radials hooked as well as the ET streets. Not an ultimate test due to the high ten/low eleven capability of my car. It'll be interesting to see what the fast cars can do with these. They are so soft they feel gooey.

Wonder how long these tires would last as compared to an ET Street?

Thanks,

I'll buy a pair when they come out in 17"

Ian - your avatar rocks dude!
-
they look great, im curious to hear the results & comparison to ET streets. hurry up, im in need for new tires in the rear, hehe......

Justin, don't you go thru a set every other month :D
I'd be interested as well to see how they stack up against E/T Streets, I've run the BFG's and liked them pretty well.
-
hehe, yeah, i was going through some 275/50/15 BFG dags there for a while. i dont drive it as often now, plus the handling suspension was killing traction! the new drag setup will make things much better! if these new ET street radials are stickier than the BFG's theyre going to be a hot item!

LOL thanks green93notch :)

ROFL!!! thats funny! I really want the low down on these tires! I'm at a loss for tires for next season. Of tread that is.
-
The word from Mickey Thompson is they will be offering more sizes than the P275/60R15 being tested. Availability is targeted around spring of next year for the initial lineup. They are still
"tweaking" these tires. One thing for sure - they WILL be faster. The compound is stickier than a BFG and the ET street.

The New radial hooked as well as the Et streets on my car. Like I said I can't wait to see how they work on an 8-9 second car. The std sized(comparable to Et Streets) tires will be available by spring. With a full lineup of tires and sizes by summer.

I'll update my site by the end of the week with Drag radial pics

-
sweet. I'll have some in the spring. Do we know the date we can order them from summit or whoever?
-
im looking forward to getting a set, thanx for the update walt!
-justin
-
Pretty!
I am sure the 555R's are still the choice for street, but I will have to try those on the track!
-
We should have some better information after this weekends PSCA race in Phoenix http://www.pscaracing.com/wfraceinfo2003.html . The Radials will be the best DOT Drag tire on the market when MT releases them.

just woundering if the tires will work good for everyday use and how long they would last.would these tires work good in the rain.
-
Well if they hook better than BFG's than they won't last as long. BFG's don't last long!
-
Rumor
I believe I heard that they are available at Speedtek.

The tread design (from what I can see in the pics) looks similar to the nitto drag radial so they should be fine in the rain so long as you don't go crazy in the rain with 'em. My nittos do well in the rain, even though I try to avoid the rain and my car up when rain is forecast. If they're stickier than the bfg's then they probably won't be a good option for us daily driving/strip people because they'll simply wear too quickly. That's why I don't run the bfg's, they simply don't last long at all. But stickier is better and unfortunately it takes a soft compound to do that so those new thompson radials will likely be better for the strip car that sees only occasional street duty (ie. weekend driving).
-
how much are the 275's ? rubber compound compared to ET Streets ? i like the look of the painted white letters on et streets. will something of this type be possible/avaliable ?
-
I'm still running radial t/a's, which don't stand a chance at all. I've been considering a drag radial, how much life can be expected from a drag radial? I put three or four thousand miles a year on my mustang, so would this be an annual event?
-
does Speedtek have a web site??? or phone number?
-
Hey Ian maybe we can get a Mickey T group purchase? LOL
-
like the sound of that brent! im in if we get one started!
-justin
-
chuckash, it all depends on how heavy your right foot is.
I'm in for the group buy as well.
-
Me too!!
Where the hell is IAN!!!!
Actually hes right beside me, he says they havent been released yet but when they are he will look into it.
