Default Mickey Thompson tires from American Muscle

I bought a wheel and tire package from american muscle in september. They look great and I'm happy with the wheels.........well, up until the woman scratched the hell out of them by a curb.
These tires are HORRIBLE. I live in phoenix and the temps have dropped below 50 ( i know, its rough. haha) and when its that cool, these tires wont grab to save my life. full throttle in 2nd and you will go off the road if youre not careful.

My point is, dont buy these tires. They are downright scary in cooler conditions. They dont warm up much either. I have been sideways more than once (on accident) because they are so slick and wheel spin is imminent. Traction control for some reason wont step in and help out most times. The front....understeer all day long.

Not fantastic in warm weather either. I went 285 in the rear thinking no more wheel spin. I was terribly wrong.

Hope this helps someone to make a better choice.

Rick

Street Comp tires they offer in the wheel and tire package. I wasnt specific in my original post.
