Cheapest place to order Mickey Thompson Drag Radial - 275/40/17?

tribaltek · June 9th, 2008, 12:00 PM

Well, one of the last things I have to order are some drag radials. It seems like the Mickey's are a good tire, so I wanted to know if anyone knows there the cheapest place to order them might be.

I'm putting these on my stock wheels, so I can't go any bigger than 275/40/17

Best price I've found is $177.95 so far at SuttonHP -
Mickey Thompson Drag Radial 275/40/17 - Sutton High Performance

With shipping that totals $381.32 for two tires, and then I still need to get them mounted and balanced.

Anyone know any other places?

tribaltek · June 9th, 2008, 12:37 PM

Or... should I go M&H?

06RedfireGT · June 9th, 2008, 01:09 PM

I wonder if these would fit?

Mickey Thompson 295/45/17 ET Street Radial [MIC-3745R] - $209.95

My dad has that exact tire on his gt, I've taken it to the track 3 times in the past two weeks, they blow big time. Car runs 12.3's in the summer easy, ran a 12.4 once with a passenger, but since then consistan 12.7-13.4s which is rediculous. They spun a tad doing a 60 roll the other day.

tribaltek · June 9th, 2008, 04:35 PM

No shit? That sucks.

Hhhmmm... any other opinions out there?

are you talking about Mickey thompsons?

tribal trust me nothing you are gonna get is gonna hook better at the track then the mickeys. thast crazy. Dont do a ten minute burn out like i seem some guys doing in them. just spin till you see some smoke building up. they will dead hook.

Bigb2000GT · June 9th, 2008, 05:34 PM

Nitto 555r's are a great tire as well but everyone has their own opinion I hate BFG drag radials some love them. never tried the M/T drags but my bud has set of 315s on his cobra and he likes um. Im happy with the nittos....

Jucostud · June 9th, 2008, 11:52 PM

dont get the 275/40/17's. it's too short.

bkid · June 10th, 2008, 01:15 AM

I run them and burnem till I see some smoke , they hook like hell. There is a guy on EBAY who has them cheap.

1LOUDGT · June 10th, 2008, 06:11 AM

Your sig says you have 18” wheels? If you have spare 17” rims you are using for the track get the cheater slicks. Don't waste your money on drag radials.

Thats an option as well. I didnt do it that way becuase one, i didnt want to change tires at the track, and two, i have launched at 3000 and it dead hooked, I tried 3500 once and it wheel hoped a little but not much. i think with control arms I will easily hook from 3500. What are you gonna launch at with slicks 5000, get ready to start fixing things if you regularly launch at that rpm. Plus you can always throw the mickeys on for some saturday night...... cruising around town

tribaltek · June 10th, 2008, 07:53 AM

Yeah, I'll start with the Drag Radials and then when I beef up things some more (and get a little more seat time), I might think about moving to cheaters. For now this should do me well.

bkid · June 10th, 2008, 10:43 PM

You will like them I have about 90 runs on mine and not a lot of wear yet. I drive them to the track which is nice. I driven in the rain with them on, and not bad traction at all. I was surprised.

Jucostud · June 11th, 2008, 12:01 AM

get the m&h 28in dr.

tribaltek · June 11th, 2008, 12:30 AM

Best place to buy the M&H would be...???

Jucostud · June 11th, 2008, 12:54 AM

http://www.moddedmustangs.com/forums...lby-torqs.html might wanna check if he still has these. if not, you can get them off of m&h's web site for $198 a piece.

tribaltek · June 11th, 2008, 12:55 AM

I would just buy the tires since I don't need wheels (have 4 of them in the basement).

joeice14 · July 22nd, 2008, 11:59 PM

Do 275/45/17 and 275/50/17 fit our stock 17in rims????

Jucostud · July 23rd, 2008, 12:14 AM

If it's a DR, it will fit nicely.

joeice14 · July 23rd, 2008, 12:17 AM
