    Mickey thompson Drag tires good?

    I just got a set of 205/50-15 MT drag tires. They have tread like a regular tire, and seem to be pretty soft. Are they decent tires? I am thinking I may sell them.

    Are they drag radials? I have heard good things from the RWD guys. I don't know of anybody using them in FWD applications.

    Not listed as a DR but I'd bet that's what they are.

    As Mike has already said they're quite popular on RWD applications. They actually ran out of stuck because they're so popular. I had the ET streets on my muffstain. Car hooked like a mofo on the street with them.

    Nope, those aren't them. I'll try to get more info on them tonight. I think they have Mickey Thompson Competitor on the side and they are 205/50-15. They guy I got them from had them on his Shelby charger. 000 treadware, I'll have to check the rest.

    I had borrowed a set of those one time. I was unimpressed.

    Probably be better than regular street tires of course, but nothing will be better than slicks. Sell them and use the money to help pay for slicks.
