Common sense, over all. Gotta use your head.

Damn Pro50, I'd figure they'd be bald as hell after 6-8k like the MT's I had on my Talon. I'll probably just go with the Nittos and try and avoid driving on the highway in the rain, shouldn't be a problem to avoid the rain here in Alabama since we never seem to get any[:@] Thanks for all the help guys

The rubber compound on the Mickey's is a lot softer than the Nittos hence the added mileage and wear.

Thats true, I guess MT's were never really ment to be driving daily. For your burnout at the drags did you have to do a longer one than say with some BFG's or MT's since the compound is harder on the Nittos? and about what pressure did you run, street and track?
