I just ordered some 305/35/18 Mickey Thompson DR 2's... How are they on the street? I was going to go with the Nitto NT05R in a 295/35/18, but that was next to impossible to find in stock. I like the Nitto 555's , but on a slow roll it just lays sideways.. If I could get 6-8000 miles out of them that would be great.. I am hoping next week when I drop the car off and have the 1 peice drive shaft, LT's, CAI , GT500tb, 3400 PTC convertor; that it makes a difference. I would have liked to do it myself , but right now I am working 60-70 hours a week.. just dont have time..

Diabolical!

No street tire hooks better than Mickey Thompson ET Streets, but they are flat out dangerous in the rain. I also wouldn't bet on getting 6 to 8 thousand miles out of them. Maybe 4 or 5 thousand miles if you baby them.

Thanks for the heads up.. I had the old bias ply ET Street's on my 99 camaro ; which went 12.0's NA and high 10's on the bottle, but the car sucked at speed on the highway.. I would not even come out in the rain... I knew better.. lol I had the old Nitto 555r's on there and the best 60ft was 1.72. Then changed out to the Mickeys and adjusted my torque arm to -4 degrees and went 1.64 on the motor.

Diabolical!

I used to have bias ply mickeys as well, but I had them on stock 17" rims with the stock radials in the front. Scary as hell at high speed. And yeah, they would kill you in the rain. (literally)

Amen to that Diabolical...
