Anyone tried Mickey Thompson ET Street new DRs

Slow5.0 · Jul 10, 2007

I need new 315/35/17 DRs and i run Nittos right now but i was thinkin about switching to new MT ET Street DRs or to new BFG DTs design but since there is no 315/35/17 BFG DRs in new design i have only MT DRs to go with or stay with Nitto DRs

Does anyone tried those and how they hook and whats milage life on street compare to Nittos

This is the tire i talkin about

Also how old MT ET Street DRs works

All this is on 17" rim ,i know they will hook better on 15" rim but i like to run them on 17s

I broke an axle with them the first time I ran them on the track. I was running slick for 4 yrs prior to that.

My buddy has some on his Hell Camino.

They are really soft and hook great on normal roads. never seen them at the track though.

Two of my buddies have them, one is on a 98 formula and the other set is on a 80 T/A with a built B.O.P. 400. Both HOOK. The buddy with the formula took his out on a semi-wet (drizzle) up the street to get some grub (about 1mile round trip). He got on it a few times in a safe area to see how they would react...they hooked and didnt spin any more than the regular street tires he had before.

They were the old style MT DR's though, I dont know about the new tread design one's yet. I plan on running Nitto or BFG's on the TTII's and either getting The MT DR or MT streets for the welds. I am in no hurry to wear out the tires on the TTII's or the welds at the moment though.

275/40/17. I am wanting to get some for my old tribars to use at the track. From what I read, you will be lucky to get 10k miles out of them. If I remember correctly most people get about 3-5k miles.

Yep, word around the net is about 3k of hard use and they're done. I haven't had mine at the track yet, but they hook great on the street. I'm running the 315/35/17's.

3K is good , my 315/35/17 Nitto DRs get around 5k with a lot 1/4 miles runs on strip or street

No I was saying that I ran slicks for 4 yrs prior to the drag radials and never broke an axle.
