back tires usually always wear faster than the front on a mustang lol
i wouldnt run a drag radial on the street, they are soft and ANY sort of tirespin on the street, asphalt or concrete will eat a drag radial alive. they are just too soft for the street, and when i ran mine on the street they didnt really hook better than the street tire, they may have if i heated them up but i wasnt about to heat them up on the street and ruin them
sure they are DOT approved but i would only run them on a weekend only street drag car that only drives to the track.
i ran some nice BFG drag radials on the street, i got them used but they are ALOT of tread. i ran them for 2 months on the street before i ever got to the track and by the time i got there they were almost bald and i ran 14 passes that day and pretty much finished them off. and i dont spin the tires on the street alot, just the occasionaly back road roar and fun, no burnout either, just tire spin from punching it 1st and turning them over and spinning in 2nd
if your looking for traction at the track, i would get an extra set of rims and get a nice drag radial or slick and put them on at the track.
as for street traction, its all in the foot, ease into the throttle dont just floor it and hope it hooks or get some suspension upgrades. control arms, adjustable shocks and drag springs.
i got the arms, drag shocks.struts and stuff and it helped street traction a great deal. went from tire spin to hooking in 1st gear, still have to play with the gas a tad bit but thats just what you get into when hopping up a car.
lol I dont see how you could see no difference on the street.
Ive had nothing but drag radials on my car for 3 years, and I daily drive it every day. I drove it through snow with MT ET radials, I put them on may of last year and they still have tread on them with burnouts here and there. The difference is night and day on the street, I will never put on a regular set of tires in the rear as long as I live. At the very least Ill put on nittos. Driving on regular tires is torture to me, nothing is worse than losing to a slower car just because of tires.
Ive never been able to blow the tires off without dumping the clutch on the street with the MT ET radials, it just chirps thats all, and yes, I murder people out of the hole with twice my power. My car was an animal out of the hole with just the 4.10s and a set of nittos. Traction is so much fun.
MT ET radials are wrinkle wall, and like I said its enough of a difference that you cannot force me to run regular tires on the street. Anyways tire pressure makes a big difference in wear pattern and traction obviously on drag radials more so than regular tires. I run mine at about 22-25psi on the street.
Are you sure the MT ET Radials are wrinkle wall? The MT ET Radials are normal drag radials made by Mickey Thompson. The Wrinkle walls you speak off - I believe - are the MT ET Streets, which are not radials, but rather slicks w/ grooves in them to make them DOT legal.
aliate x, what size are your tires? I have my stock ponys and want to keep them for a while.
