I just purchased the new (or semi-new) Mickey Thompson ET Street 315/35/17 Drag Radials. I previously had 315 Vredesteins and I must say that on the street (twisties) the MT's roll pretty good when hard into a turn. (I know they aren't the same and I don't expect them to be)

I am running them at 35 psi and I was curious what everyone else is running them at for everyday driving?

What are your opinions of them?

They seem to hook pretty good even on the street without being warmed up.

35 is way too high, they'll wear out the centers real quick at that psi. I keep mine around 22-23 cold for street driving and drop them down to around 20 hot at the track.

Yep, have them on my car now and had them on my last car (red one in my vehicle pics). Trust me on this, don't run them over 25psi hot on the street for long or you'll wear out the centers.

I run that size MT- 21psi street, anymore then that and they don't even think about hooking on the street with my set up. When I go to track I set them 18psi. 30plus psi way to much!

AT THE TRACK, how long do you guys typically burn em for?

i run them at 16psi at the track and 22-25 on the street

They don't need a lot of heat to hook. On your first burnout just get the wheel speed up in 2nd gear and look in your side mirror and watch for smoke starting to billow from the fender well and that's probably enough (depends on track prep too). The runs after the first one don't usually require as much heat if your passes are pretty close together because the tires retain the heat.

Just a couple seconds. Too long a burnout will only hurt you so just enough to clean the crap off them and your good.

I done some testing at the track with tire pressure and for me 20psi works the best so far. On the street I run 30+ but will probaly drop that a tad.

I ran 20 psi on my 305/35/18 M/T ET Streets and it still didn't hook on the bottle from a 35 roll... Never tracked 'em.

not mickey's but I run my 315's at 24 PSI...they seem to hook up best at that PSI
