. The only thing I liked about the Mickey T's was, they required less burnout.

I have never driven on another type of slick, but my new 23 inch MH slicks worked out so well I wouldn't want to try another slick. I have only made about 9 passes with them, but my 60ft times have only gotten better each run. I haven't even really messed with tire pressure much or my suspension either, so I know there is a lot left in the slicks. My last 3 runs I pulled a 1.83, 1.80, 1.78 60 ft's. Once I get everything dialed in I'm sure my 60ft times will drop even lower.

The service from mandhtires.com was fricking awesome too. I ordered my slicks online one night, but they didn't have that size in stock. Well I got a call from them the next day! They were actually going to give me a wider slick for the same price as the ones I ordered! Talk about great customer service for an online site. That size would have been a little too big for my car, so I just bought the 23's instead. When I build my motor and need bigger tires I am defintely going to oreder through them again.

M&H certainly gives the best support and service to the sport compact community and their product is designed with the cars we use them on in mind, whereas its kind of pot luck with some of the others, but make no mistake, any company will have a good product

I think it depends on the track. M&H is certainly staying involved with our sport, so supporting that company is a good thing.

i recently switched from m&h over to mickey thompson and i dont think ill ever go back to m&h. m&h does have a nice variety of sizes and their customer service is excellent, but i've noticed that m/t's seem to last longer than m&h. plus, m/t's dont require a big burn out.

the M&H's don't seem to get as gummy as the MT's but mine seem to have built in magical elves that consistently help me off the line, I'll keep using them till they get tired

M&H has had my business for the last couple years. I dont see anything changing any time soon.

I've used nothing but M&H slicks for the past 3 years. High quality product and as it's been mentioned, top notch customer service.

What works for some may not work for others.
