Mickey Thomspon ET Streets tread life?
Hey guys, I have a pair of 15x8 weld draglites with flat hoosiers on them now, and I'm going to go look at another pair of 15x8 draglites with mt /et streets with a little over half tread life for 350$
Whats the treadlife like on these tires without any burnouts?

half tread for $350 ??? tires only????
thats what they cost new..... need any bridges ? i got a couple for sale near brooklyn
8k easily though on a new tire, i would say closer to 10k on the radials, bias ply ones will be shaky on the freeway if you have radials on the front. the radial version is actually pretty good in the rain as long as you don't break loose... but break loose and they are as bad as bias-ply
hands down... THE BEST cheater slick available

If it is a radial et then u can get alot of miles off them IF IF IF you dont do a john force everytime at the pit!
I had a set on my last car for 1.5 yrs normal daily driving, a few track visits, 275/60/15 MT street radials, all i do is get the water off them not a smokey burnout, they will hook fine, and give you good mileage too!
things to consider psi u run while normal driving, and how you take corners, will both determine the wear life on the tires since there such a soft rubber! 8-10K what were you guys doing?
I drove my car to work 84 miles a day and back and forth to college, they seen normally 100-150 miles a day!

Cool. Just waiting on the guy to call me back, supposed to go pick them up today. We'll see!
Quick Q'. With the 275's out back, is it going to rub on the quad shocks? Or should I be good?
