Mickey Thompson ET Street

[Cobra Dude]

Hi Guys,
I just got my new 17" MT Streets. I had just put my Nitto 315's on and I did not get a chance to test them when Larry Hodges of MT called to say I will be one of the first in the U.S. to receive a set. The next set of MT's goes to someone in California and Australia will have the rest of the first issue of MT's 17". These MT's look good and feel good. I will test them Sunday on the track. I will be selling my Nitto's 315's for $325 (no runs on this tires, on car for 3 days) plus shipping, and my Nitto's 275's (I made 9 runs on this tires) for $275 plus shipping.

I ran the Mickey Thompson 17" ET Streets at the track Sunday. They are the best so far. No wheel hop and they kept getting better after each run. Larry Hodges of MT called Monday to see how they handled because I was the first in the US to run these tires. I give him the good news and now I will get the other set because he did not hear from the guy in California. He also suggested I run them at 14 - 15 lbs of air pressure.

I ran at US 41. There was a video (not a good one) but my friend has it.

Are you talking about E/T Streets, or the new Radial that is to compete against the Nittos?
Because if you are talking about the new 17 X 26 x 11.50 E/T Street, I have had a set on my car for the past 3 weeks. I bought them at Summit racing. I have not had them to the track as the tracks here will not open until March 20.
Don't know the guy you mentioned in your post, but it sounds like he is blowing hot air your way.

a lot of us have the et streets.. HE's talking about the Radial.

 

[SNKBITE]

Thats what I thought....

Did you have to grind or replace hte rear bolts to keep them from rubbing

 

[Cobra Dude]

These are radials (no tubes) and they do not rub. I did not have to grind or replace the rear bolts. Larry Hodge is the Distributor for Mickey Thompson Tires. You can contact Larry Hodge at www.larryhodge.com or call him at 217-677-2358.
