Mickey Thompson Drag Radials, 345/35r/18, finally out

[F8L SNK]

Rain Hope to know soon as well, will definitely post up my opinion once I get out on them

[apsychoone]

I wonder what the wear rate is on these new MT Drag Radials compared to the Hoosier DR's.

[V10TT]

Any Testing?, Anybody?

[1fast400]

Any update?

[Mr. Hollywood]

From a low roll on low boost they dead hook on the street. I haven't been to the track with them, but I'm sure they're as good (if not better) that my M&H's.

[1fast400]

Get to the track or I'm going to sue you. Although, I know I'm about 5th in line for that

I'm hoping to make my first DR passes on the 14th.

I wonder if "Mr. Hollywood" will be on the papers when I'm served.

Kelly, define low boost?
What gear, how much power?

12 psi...1st gear. I'm guessing 800rwhp???

I have the ps1's on my acr right now does having the MT drag radial lower the top speed you should go?

dr's arent rated for sustained high speeds, short burst only. they can blister and that would be bad at 150 mph

[viperown05]

Ive only ever had the ps1's ive never driven any other kind of tire before so im a tire noob. Just ordered the MT's so wondering what to expect when i drive on them. So far it seems nono's are no high speeds and no fast turning? I have 18x13 wheels so pretty sure they fit xD. But thats about all i know. Anything else?

they're a radial tire so they drive really nice. Just dont roll down the highway at a buck 70 with 12psi in them and have to slam on the brakes. they get a little bouncy and squirrly in that situation.

with 20-24 psi its hard to tell in a straight line the difference in drivability. just use common sense. they are for short straight line blasts and nice smokey burnouts.

Just got my pair on today and gotta say they hook like a mother. A+++

[sagev viper]

finally took the car out for some quick pulls w/ the M/T's on. Running about 30 PSI in the tires, No tire warm up, 1,2xx /RWHP/TQ (roughly). Car pulls like crazy, can feel a marked difference from the R6's. 3rd gear pulls rolling into the throttled+no wheelspin, 3rd gears pulls getting pretty aggressive=some wheelspin. Again, tires were never fully warmed, only a 6 mile round trip or so.

SOTP felt like the car was getting lighter in the front from the thrust.

Everyone still happy with the MT's? I am thinking about going with these next. I have the BFG's now.
