How long will M/T's last
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
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.

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.

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.
