hello there
im confused about the meaning of M/T, ET, streets, drag radials
maybe M/T means Mickey Thompson. im not sure.. im looking for better traction for daily driving

M/T stands for Mickey Thompson which is a brand of tires


ET DRAGs - As you can tell there are pretty much an all out drag tire and not at all intended for street use.



ET Streets - These are a little bit better but not good at all if it rains.



ET Street Radial - These are the tires that I will street. They are a very soft compound and will not last very long but they will last longer then any of the above tires. These tires do not do well in the rain either.





Most people run nittos for daily drivers because they are better in the rain, hook well and generally last 10k-15k miles.

I have had both and the nitto is way better in the rain. To be honest I think they are better on the track too and last 3 times as long. But thats just from personal experience with alot of low 1.6X 60 fts on 245/50/16 inch nittos. On the 255 / 50/16 bfg`s i couldnt do any better than a low 1.7 and they wore out really fast on the street.
I am looking to try out the mt etstreet drag radials. I have a few friends runnign them now and they are working extremely well.

If your worried about traction in the rain get the nittos they will win in the rain hands down. If you want a bad *** tire that will hook and wont peel, get the M/Ts
