I am looking for some drag tires and was wondering what everyone thought about the Mickey ET Street 275/40-17 on the stock 17X8 rims? They are listed as working on an 8.5 rim, but have heard through the grave vine that they will fit an 8 rim. Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome, thanks in advance

Playing with my wife's really makes me want one.

They will fit the 17x8, but I dunno if I would drive much on the street with them. To the track and back ok, but I don't know if I'd trust it if you throw it around a corner.

The MT ET Streets are awesome tires. My first time out on them I cut a 1.808 60' time. I only got to use them for two runs before the car went up for the winter but I was sold on them.

they are awsome tires, handle well in the curves, and grip like mad. . that being said, in the rain they are very dangerous, no traction at all. you hit one puddle at 50, its hydroplane city!!

Is anyone out there running any type of drag radial tires on their stock 17X8 GT rims? If so band and size tire are they and how well do they handle the street?

I use the M/T ET Street 26 x 11.5 x 17 (3743) bias ply on stock rims at the track.
It would not be a good choice for the street.

I tried that as soon as i got them on, barely got side-ways.
