Default Mickey Thompson Tires, good deal?

What your thoughts on a pair of NEW Mickey Thompson tires 275/40/17 for $279.00 plus shipping? The BFgoodrich DR would run me $320 plus shipping.

But you're also talking tread wear. So not sure.

the ET street DR are good at that price they hook up better than nittos and they wear longer than them too.

What about comparing with the BfGoodrich DR's? I've had BF's for ever on all my vehicles.

I'm not sure what I wanna go with. It's not a DD, but I like to take it out off and on. And of course most of you probably know I show the car as well. I doubt I'll be at the track alot, but who knows. Just trying to figure if it's worth getting them or not.
