Default MT ET Street Radials???

When are the Mickey Thompson ET Street radials 275/40/17 going to be available? The date is constantly being pushed back. I heard that there is a manufacturing problem.

I saw your thread about 3 minutes after I posted. I ordered a pair today they'll be in next week. My only concern is that these tires are heavy as a bitch, I think 28 lbs.

What label are you looking at?
Looks like AA to me!

What does it cost for a pair of these and would you all recommend it for a midly modded converter car?

Mine were about 370 by the time I got them here. My car is stock with lid and converter. 1.70 60' without a hint of spin. Best time was a 7.90. I would highly recomend them but I would not drive on them as they are soft as crazy and will wear out quick. Small burn out is good.

Yep, they're rated a C in traction according to that sticker. The traction rating of a tire is found by it's ability to stop on a wet surface. I noticed that when I bought my last set of tires.
