I was curious if anyone is actually using the new Mickey Thompson ET Street radials on their stock pony rims. I have read the discuccions about whether 255/50 fit on the rims but I just want to know specifically about the MTs. I would like to know how they fit and how they perform both on the street and on the track. Any info would be great.

How many miles daily driving can you get out of the MT streets. Without beating on them and taking them off when at the track?

They hook like crazy.

The milage isn't great but for my car, only driven on weekends, they are great. If it was a DD I would have a seperate set of rims for the MTs. From what I have heard though its about 5k-7k miles.

I borrowed my friends ponys with 255/50/16 MT ET radials on them...

With TFS h/c/i, and 4.10s, I dumped it at 5k on the track and they didnt even chirp.

Long story short as soon as I got home I ordered a pair for my ponys lol...
