MMM!

The real question is, how will you be using them? Are you going to be mounting them on your only set of wheels and driving them all the time? If so, go with a very very mild drag radial like the nitto 555 deal from dominoes. You wont want to be forced to drive on et streets in the rain or snow, definately NOT the snow. I would just stay wherever I were if there were inclemant weather and Im on an et street. You have to ballence your sacrafice. You want a good track tire, you trade streetability...and vice versa.

Thanks for the reply. But thankfully I have a Daily Driver. the car will only see "weekend miles" and the track 2 times this summer. Might race on the street too, but not heating the **** out of them. r

i never got the "dont drive in the rain" thing.


maybe thats for OLD mickey's?!


my mickey thompson ET street radials are BETTER in the rain then my old STREET tires

and im not talking about light rain.

we went out to eat and it was raining so hard that most of some roads had 1/4-1/2 inch of water, and i had NO issues. (givin I was driving easy)

I had to press the pedal a bit to get it to break loose, this is with the 4.10's.

givin i dont make a TON of power, but still.....


mine are 235/60/15's (maybe that had something to do with it?) and ive had them on the car for about 6,000miles, only once with the track 4-5passes light smoke.
they still look almost new, i think ill get more mile's out of em.

i love these tires, now that my car is my DD, ill be running street tires, and these at the track, when these wear out ill move to a bigger tire, but with the 235's there almost rubbing my quad shock, so ill have to remove that when i do.

I don't drive my car in the rain because I try to keep it as clean as possible and I don't like water spots on my ride at all. Kinda got a case of OCD about water spots on my paint. That is why I don't drive in the rain, not that I can't or won't, I just choose not to. Only dirt on my car is pollen dust and still a little stubborn rubber on the right rear quarter that I need to get off. My car is a garage queen and only gets driven on dry days.

I use M/T drag radials with good success. I don't run them on an everyday driver. Rather dangerous in the rain. I switch them out before hitting the track. The older BFG Drag Radials hooked better than any drag radial I've ever used. They didn't last very long though.

et street very dangeropus in the rain my buddy was trying to get home from the track in his s197 and it started to rain well the on ramp was wet and he hydroplaned and cracked the wall pretty good with the rear quarter panel caused some major body damage. I two weeks earlier was driving to woodward to go cruise it had rained about 5 hrs earlier so the roads were pretty dry but there was still some left over wet spots on the freeway. Lets just say i was going almost sideways at 75 mph in a matter of seconds. The car literally felt like it started to skate on ice, soon as i noticed it the back end started to go out side ways and i was looking out my driver window at a semi, luckly it came back around with some major correction on my part. Never again will i take the car out after it rains
