I havent heard anyone talk about these yet.Do you use them for everyday driving? How are they in the rain? Do they pick up alot of rocks and pebbles like the Nitto's?

I have 275/50 they have great street manner. They hook real hard at the track and hook pretty good on the street. The tire is surprisingly good in the rain. I also running a spool on the street. At the track when I go threw the waterbox and spin the tires over. It wants to hook and go even in the water.

I want to get these tires but Im not sure what size i want to go with.. either the 275/50/15 or the 325/50/15... i have a 15X10 6.5" BS draglite.. im not sure how well the 28" 325 will fit on my fox.. i know some hammering will have to be done.. im still worried about them rubbing being so tall... but just wondering if anyone out there is running that size..

I love my Mickey Drag Radials, I run the 275 50 15 and hook like crazy and have great road manners, now obviously rain isnt their forte but they are a nice tire.

if you want something to drive on daily go nitto's 10-15,000 miles. street strip bfg 4-5000 miles, strip street go mt radials 3-4000 miles. these are what ive gathered from reading, not from experience. bought my mt radials off ebay.
