Default 17" ET streets

Is MT making a 17" ET street tire yet? I need traction bad, but I don't want to have to get rid of the vette wheels and go to 16"s.

No problem! You may want to call them in a couple weeks to see if they are on schedule. I spoke to them 6 weeks ago and they didn't seem too sure they were going to come out in November but that was their target...

I talked to Mickey Thompson a couple of weeks ago and they said not to expect them until spring of 2004 because of sidewall construction problems.
