Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial 235/60/15

Post by AR »

Looks like a squared up Avon...slightly wider I think but will fit in the factory pro street fender easy. They are supposed to grip like crazy. Am getting some local magazine shots done next Tuesday so had to get something better than the old baldy tire :twisted:

Not the greatest of pics but thats all I could do today. Heavy rain cut me short but after a 20 minute ride through suburban streets so far I'm happy...I was expecting not to notice any 'edging' at all since it is so rounded for a car tire. Looks like it was purpose built for the pro street fender...always bothered me the round Avon and the square fender. Tread depth seems not much since the tire is made for street drag application.

Time will tell if its a goodie. 8-)

I believe Stu uses this tire unless he has used both possibly.

Busa Dave didn't have much luck with drag radials, he tried a couple of them, (Nitto, BF Goodrich) and the soft sidewall allowed flexing (high speed wobble). Maybe the narrower M/T will be better.

Reduced pressure down to 27psi and rode into the city...felt very stable and easy to manage across driveway inclines etc. Really happy so far and since I'm a smoker not a hooker i should like it a lot!
