I did not think they would hook better than the pros but how well do they hook
Rear tires for Race Stars... advice..
- Thread starter Badlilstang
- Start date
My only worry is life expectancy out of them. Some are saying 1k miles and they are done. That said I am still leaning the direction of the PRO.. the Ultimate goal will be to get in the 9's one day. I have a daily driver I just got running so I don't have to put the miles on my car.
You have heard that the Pro Bracket Radials are done in 1000 miles?
MT Tech told me that the Pro Bracket Radial typically last about the same as a Radial Pro. Which, for me have been insane in regards to how long they last.

Were you running the 3754X when you ran the 1.38 60'? Also how many miles did you get out of the set?
Yes.
I don't make allot of passes, but do get on it on the street and at last check I still had 5/32" after 2500 miles.

I think you just sold me on them. Will pick up a set to try. If I get 2.5k miles out of them I would be super happy.
I was told the PRO's only last 1K but now you have me sold on them. I was so afraid the PRO's wouldn't last long at all on the street. I will probably hit the track 3-5 times a year. Ok.. im sold..
BEST PRICE I FOUND... (let me know if you find better!)
American Muscle and use the discount code it's like 429$ to your door for the 275 PRO (pair).

I did the 17x7 up front and went with the Continental DW06 front tire which is a little more pricey but one of the best tires in a 215/55r17. They said it balanced out really well and took almost no weight! Now to just get the Rears on..
I talked to Mickey Thompson today they said the pros have way better traction than the 295s and would last as long as the 305/45r18 et Street r I have now
They use the same R2 compound is probably why (if your R is the Radial version).
They are
I ran ET Street S/S 295/65 and I got a good 2500 miles out of them.
Probably would have gotten more if I ran a little lower pressure and still could have raced with them. Problem was the circumferential grooves had worn way down and it was squirrely in the rain.
I am leaning towards running another set come spring time.

295/65? maybe 295/55?
295/65. 30" tall.
Holy crap.. I'm surprised that fit.
Mickey Thompson released a bunch of new tire sizes today including a 275/60/15 ET Street R. They only had the 26" version in a 15" or the 325 before.

Its tight. Not recommended for stock suspension! Also requires adjustable spring perches.
Well crap... I guess it doesnt matter really they wear the same... R2 compound.
how well does a 275 width radial fit on a 15x10. Seems like the measuring rim for that size is usually a 15x8 rim? I have a set of 15x10 race stars and have also been debating what tires to get for them.
Also anyone running the 15x10's with the sway bar relocation brackets also running LCA relocation brackets? I've heard that running both will cause rubbing. What did you have to do to fix this?
