Nitto Or MICKEY THOMPSON Et Streets Which Is Better For The Street Racing It Is About 140 Dollars Different In Price

 

The nitto gives more life and better grip in the rain which is a must on the street. The Mickey is the stickier of the two. For the street id go nitto.

 

for the street, id go m/t et street radials
if i was more worried about racing, e/t streets

nittos will not last long because you have to heat them up so much to get them to hook. imo, nittos just suck. m/t et radials are the best street racing tire out there, and worth the money.

 

anybody else have any comments

 

my buddy has the mickey et drag radials on his mustang he loves them but one it started to rain and his car got caught in it going around a corner he lost control and almost wrecked they do stick great
he had goodyear gsc
when he changed to the et drags he droped 2 tenths on his et

my brother has nittos on his mustang they are great
there is a big differance the et drags stick better
but in the rain my brother has no problem at all

both great tires
choice is up to u man
good luck

 

I had nittos and from a drag point of view they sucked. Streetwise they were okay, but my bfg DR were way better in both categories.

M/T is the stickier tyre of the 2 but it will wear much faster than the Nitto, that's not to say Nittos are bad and maybe better for mildly moded rides. IMOH, Nitto is better for the street and M/T for the track.

 

Ive have MT ET Radials and Nitto 555R's(both pair in 275/50/15) and I can say, for the street, you cant really go wrong with either. For the track, Id lean more towards the MT's though. If you race a DR on the street or at the track, just know you wont get more than 10k miles out of them.
