I'm going to stick with my Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials until they need to be replaced, but once that time comes, I'm sure I'll be ordering a set.

Interested to hear how these work. Aren't they similar compound to the pro radial? If so hope you guys have good rear ends and don't mind starring at the sky when launching.

What's the price point on these? Are they prices similarly to the ET Street Radials?

Currently running 295/55/15 Et Street Radials, contemplating picking up another set since the S/S haven't come out, or trying the new "bias ply" version of the ET Street R 28x11.5x15 with tubes. They advertise it for the hardcore clutch guys that drive on the street. Need a tire that can withstand a 3hr drive from Cleveland to Detroit for the dream cruise. Would like the best of both worlds in 1 tire for a manual trans car though..
