NEW Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial PRO

Supposed to be a pretty badass tire! Pretty much a slick built on a radial. Only made is 275/60/15 right now though. Guess I need to find some 15" wheels!

It was on dragzine, that tire is legal for X275 classes, now legal since it has a DOT stamp, you can run it in other classes that require a DOT legal radial...or street

Looks like a hoosier radial, hopefully they're a little more thick/solid than a hoosier radial.

This is the best 275 radial on the market right now. I had the oppurtunity to check it out the weekend it was released at the drag radial race at South Georgia Motorsports Park. There were some super fast times set on that tire that weekend and I expect a bunch more really fast times to come.

Why the DOT would put their label on that is beyond me, but I bet she hooks like mad.

I would hope someone isn't dumb enough to try it. This isn't your typical radial.

I checked the MT web sight and noticed this tire is for up to a 9.5" wheel. Is it that big of deal to go ahead and put it on a 15x10?

With such a tall sidewall, I doubt it would be much of an issue...
