does anyone use these mickey thompson et street drag radials for sport compacts?? how do they compare to bfg drag radials? ive been through alot of bfgs. they dont last very long at all, like a few hundred miles and theyre slicks. the traction isnt the best either.. especially not until they are bald. i was thinking about trying these new MT's but if they are no better than the bfgs then i will want to save money because the MT's are more expensive.

i was told that these dont lose traction in 2nd making 500hp. b/c of the softer compound.

lol, i spin tires in 4th on bfgs.

these MT's use R2 compound. what do bfgs use? all i can find onthe bfgs is that they have a "compound optimized for straight-line grip"

 

i am interested in these its just the summit is the only one i found with the and they are 160 shipped each plus shipping so if they dont last long it can get more expensive the bfgs really quick on the street

Everytime I check Summit, the ship date is pushed back further . Jegs has them as well for like $160, but I found this site too: http://www.performancewheel.co...acid=

 

Try the Mickey Thompson 235/60/15 great tire. im sure you wont have an issue with them and 500hp on a fwd

You didn't list a tire size in the first post buddy. Be more specific if you don't like peoples replies on different sizes of the same brand your asking about

Optimized For Modern Sports Cars & Sport Compacts" which this thread is about! drop it.

 

Easy bitch. People were trying to help you out and you were being the smart ***. Lose the pissy attitude.

 

 

Mickey Thompson 3752R - 235/60/R15 Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial Drag Tires Details


Tire Compound: R2
Tire Overall Diameter: 26.1''
Average Roll Out/
Circumference: 82''
Tire Tread Width: 8.4''
Tire Section Width: 9.5''
Wheel Diameter: 15''
Spec Wheel Width: 7.0''
Approved Wheel Widths: 6.5-8.5''
Tire Weight: 27.0 lbs



FWIW: I have driven on The 225 BFG's and M/T's and could not tell much of a difference at all. The M/T's were VERY worn though and felt much harder at that point! I believe the only difference between the new M/T for the sport compacts is the tread pattern (original pattern did not pass certain DOT wet tests which kept them from being legal in certain drag radial classes) with everything else being identical.

i said it felt like deja vu in here because i made a similiar thread about these tires awhile back and i had a weird feeling that mrspongebob posted in that thread with the same exact thing.. ill have to dig it up.

anyways, how about we get back on topic (all i was trying to do) and all future posters please take a good look at the picture in the first post or the link before replying jesus.

 

ACTUALLY, due to your reply about knowing all about the ORIGINAL ET Street Radials, then I DID answer your original question in my reply where I said they are both the same tire with the only difference being the tread pattern so that they pass certain stringent DOT tests. Sorry for trying to help you out buddy, you obviously know everything so I will just shut up and keep my lack of knowledge to myself! Have a nice night

 

Would be interested to see how the life span on these tire is, i like the bfg because it does fairly well in the rain and last quite a bit

 

the tires hook great but they do wear very fast they get chewed up i only had mine 4 a few months but i love em i had the BFG last yaer and i did'nt like em the side walls cracked on me imo this tire is way better than the bfg

sorry, but tread pattern and tire size plays a huge part in a tire, so please go away or keep on topic.

thanks man, so far youre about the only person who has truly contributed to the topic at hand.

i can understand the wear not being very good.. i was more concerned with the traction because bfgs arent that great for me and they sure dont last very long for me either. a few hundred miles maybe. (i only drive my car hard) i just shred them to pieces. i mean litterally almost chunks flying off. i have toher friends with rwd cars and bfgs and they can do burnout after burnout if they wanted and still not chew them up like i do.. i dont really get it, but im gonna try these MT's.
