Default Any place local (Houston) that carries MT drag radials?

Are there any tire shops here in the Houston area that carry Mickey Thompson drag radials? I'm looking for some 275/50/15's.

Texas Perfromance or Wholesale Wheel and Tire in Pasadena. Cory Wheat is the owner and is a drag racing fool.

Lozano's Tire Repair on Hwy 6! They might not have the real ones but you can get some old worn out tires and they can paint anything you want it to say on the sidewall.

^^^ Agree. I bought mine at Comp Sales. They were the only place in Houston that had the size I was looking for in stock.

Summit offers free shipping, but a $10.95 handling charge.
(I think this also applies to tires)

Edit: Not on tires, they charge to ship them!~!!

Texas Performance Distributor probably has what you need. Their prices are pretty competitive and they are local. I usually buy there.

Update:

I went by Comp Sales in Pasadena and they didn't have any in stock. They wanted $165 each.

Swung by Texas Performance. None in stock...$180 each!

Discount Tire - Can order...would be here late January (WTF?)...$190 each!!!GTFO!

I'm just going to order them from Summit or Jegs.
