How many miles can I expect to get on a set of M/T ET street radials 275/40/17's driven on the street and on dry pavement how good do they hold going around curves? Do I have to worry about the rear end sliding out on dry pavement or will they stick pretty good?

thanks

They will hold the road fine! I have not really noticed much difference in handling with mine, other than they will hook! I have about 500 miles on mine lots of burn outs, still have alot of tread

they will hold the road fine and hook real good,but dont drive in the rain ever trust me,had to drive 25mph to get home one day any faster and the *** end started to float around,only got about 2500 miles out of them couple of times to track and rest street,street burnouts wear them faster than the track.

I'd say I might get 3k out of mine. Couple of big burnouts and a trip to the track. Hook great but I also have a full spool rear so normal driving tears mine up.

I wouldn't drive them on the street. I put mine in a ditch driving in a mist on bfg dr's.

thanks guys, I have about 1000 miles on them now and they look pretty good still. They do hook great on the street, i was just wondering about the cornering, if they hold good.

10k miles so far, still have about 30% tread left, they just hit the wear bars. still no problems but im running the 15inch variety

how are you guys getting 10k out of a set of drag radials? are you guys just using them for commute? then really, whats the point of putting drag radials on in the first place. i've had BFG's and M/T's and both lasted an oil change (3000 miles or less) no big burnouts or anything either.. but i obviously use them for what they're intended for.

Exactly, mine lasted about 4000 miles with no big burnouts. Just a little light to light action and normal driving. I wouldnt waste the money on Mickey Thompsons unless you plan on using them for what they were made for..."drag". I went with the Nitto DR this time around, they are not as sticky but a better all around DR IMO for the street.

wforty94

LOL i did the same thing. I now have the 315 Nitto 555R after wearing out two sets of drag radials in less than six months. Pretty decent tire for the amount of life it gives you. I found the Nittos hook pretty good if you drop the pressure and do a LONG burnout whereas the BFG's and M/T's did not require as much 'preparation' so to speak.. in order to hook up.

Mine are about four years old. But have about 100 street miles on them and two small burnouts and two track passes.
