MT all day

SSG Pate · February 6th, 2012, 09:31 PM

Wonder if those Street radial 2 are as good as the street radials?

Shaun03GT · February 6th, 2012, 09:34 PM

Ive heard theyre awesome. Just as good, but ones that are driveable in the rain. If you look at the tread pattern on the 1's they look like they would be awful for driving in the rain

SSG Pate · February 6th, 2012, 09:35 PM

315 will that fit without having to modify anything?

Shaun03GT · February 6th, 2012, 09:50 PM

Do you have 10.5" wheels? If so youll be fine. Usually over 315 requires fenders to be rolled. Those will look nasty on the car

faym 08 · February 6th, 2012, 09:54 PM

just got mt et streets myself labored over the desion but im kb charged now and want to hook up just make sure you know you will not get many miles out of them

SSG Pate · February 6th, 2012, 10:04 PM

Yes i just bought 10.5 chrome bullitt wheels too. hopefully these will be better then my current tires.

bottled2v · February 6th, 2012, 10:22 PM

I'd deff go with the m/t's over anything else for your car. the nt05r's wear way too fast.

wishIhada5.0 · February 6th, 2012, 11:30 PM

mickeys loook soooo sweet!!

blownstang · February 6th, 2012, 11:33 PM

Anything is going to spin if not heated up especially at your power level. I spun my 275/50/15 bfg drag radials the same way I did my 255/40/17 BFG KDW 2 when the car was N/A with 4.10's. Off a second gear side step or ripping from 1st to 2nd they spin the same. Unless it is really hot out and the pavement gets super hot from the sun I don't think you will notice a difference.

SSG Pate · February 6th, 2012, 11:35 PM

I bought the 315 mickeys and the 10.5 Chrome rims. now I have 2 xtra chrome 17by9 Wheels and new tires again. wonder if I can run the 275 40 zr 17 on the front? I have brand new tires that size still sittting in the garage.

wishIhada5.0 · February 6th, 2012, 11:37 PM

I know a 255 will fit up front but I dunno about a 275

mrbigjeep · February 6th, 2012, 11:41 PM

i think the 275 will rub a little up front.

SSG Pate · February 6th, 2012, 11:42 PM

I was thinking the 03/04 Cobra ran 275 all the way around.

Shaun03GT · February 6th, 2012, 11:52 PM

Cobras have a shorter turning radius because they have 275s up front. BUT a lot of people have run 275s up front and dont rub to bad, but some still have issues with it. I have 235's up front. I like skinnier front tires, makes the rears look alittle fatter

Shaun03GT · February 7th, 2012, 12:14 AM

Or these

2 New 345 40 17 Toyo TQ Drag Radial Race Tires | eBay

$227 for 2 of them??? Cant even get one MT for that price. I have those tires in 275/40 17 and they hook really good. I think Ill be buying them again when the time comes.

Shaun03GT · February 7th, 2012, 12:21 AM

Guy said these are 315s with a 96-98 SRA Rear end, and spacers, looks badass
