I have run M/T ET Street (non-radials), then ET Drags, then the ET Street radials. I currently run the ET Drags for most of my spray runs and all my bracket racing, and the radials for TNT and playing around. The radials give a better ride going down the track, but can sometimes not be as forgiving as slicks are for a hot/slippery track, which is important in bracket racing. I do like radials because I've driven to the track and busted off 1.5X 60 foot times off the spray and then drive home.

I could not get my MT radials to hook went back to the et drag and back to 1.50 60ft. is there any issues with the tires getting hard and weather cracked. I borrowed a set from a buddy and the tread did not seem that soft compared to a buddy of mine. Does this happen and would this cause them not to hook

Mickey Thompson street radials here and I love them. I drive 30 miles each way and make 10-15 passes a visit. At 20 psi and a five second burnout I can dead hook every time. I probably have 60 passes on the set I am using now and they still have plenty of tread left!
But to be fair I don't drive them on the street much other then going to and from the track. But still...... 60 passes with at least another 60 left in them

None of the above! I thought you said drag tires. None of the M/T tires seem to hook for me. The M&H racemaster does. I run the M&h cheeter slick 25x11.5x15 and cut 1.42 60's on motor m6 w/4.11's and low 1.3's on spray. For me they hook hard at a redneck track(not good prep). www.intercotire.com The m/t radial is a great street tire,but with the 688rw tq I have they are not good drag tires.

Ive always ran BFG's on my Stangs with decent traction, but Im going with ET Radials after trying them out on my buddy's car...Lets just say that pulling the wheels up on the street hasnt been a problem with the Mickeys.

I just switched to M/T's 33x14.5 Pro Drag Radials. I started out at 12 lbs like M/T said, I only ran 8.5 lbs in my ET Drags. I like that they are made to be tubeless and they do not loose air like the ET Drags. I've only made 3 passes, so I'm not sure about them yet.
I like Mickeys, I've had better luck with M/T's than any other brand, every style and on different types of vehicles.
