Mickey Thompson E.t. Streets!?!? Does anyone know how long these tires will last on the street? And if i have these tires and 4.10s, how long would my rearend last? 2000 ss 6spd!
Thanks!!
Thanks!!
If your on the stock rear in an M6, it might be ok if your clutch blows up first (assuming it's stock). I would strongly recommend changing the rear and clutch before doing any type of hard launch. And they will not last long at all on the streets. If I had to guess, I would say 500 or so miles assuming they see regular drag use. Drag radials would probably be a better choice but you would still have to be easy with the launches if they hook up well.

What should I do for the rear? i have a hook up on 4.10s and install, around 220.00.

****!! I say **** the slicks! ill do a 12 bolt later.
