Default Anybody try these Mickey Thompson Sportsman I tires??

I was looking around Summit.com and came across these Mickey Thompson Sportsman I tires. They are pretty cheap. I was wondering if anybody has run these on the street and track and how they perform? They have a size 215/50/13 and 22" circumference,that would be a nice fat tire for a FF car. thanks lemme know....

I believe they are bias ply which may be a little unstable in a "street" tire on the front of a fwd car.

they aren't REALLY designed to be street driven...just like ET streets.....but they CAN be driven on the street

in all honesty...these(and similar) are what street class cars should be sporting...they are dot approved and treaded
