Mickey Thompson Drag Radials


The racing tire technology that is used in every tire produced by Mickey Thompson has never been more evident than in the Mickey Thompson Drag Radials.  Mickey Thompson tires are legendary and for good reason.  They have been in the business for close to 50 years and before that Mickey Thompson himself not only designed and promoted race cars, but he also drove them!  His partner, Gene McMannis also had a background in race cars, but his was concentrated in the area of the tires themselves.  His tires had been used on the Bonneville Salt Flats, at Le Mans, in the Indy 500 and even at Daytona!  When they teamed up, they then had an unbeatable team and have proved it since 1963. 
ET Drag
These tires were developed through research in the real world.  They are also known as M/T slicks.  They come in various sizes and compounds.  The compounding is for ultimate traction.  These tires are unique in that they require little to no burnout and they are also engineered in such a way as to provide performance on a consistent performance.
ET Drag Radial
These have the distinction of being the fastest radials on the track!  The actual design of the radial means that you get even less rolling resistance than the regular ETs.  If you want predictable gear ratios, this tire has zero growth which allows for that to happen.  Like the regular ETs, this tire is compounded meaning you get the ultimate in traction.  If you use Auto Tran applications, then this is the tire that works best with that.  One thing though; these tires are not recommended for use on the highway. 
ET Drag Radial Jr.
The ET Drag Radial Jr. by Mickey Thompson is a proven Jr. Drag winner.  Like the other versions, it is compounded for the best traction and consistent ETs.  These tires require little to no burnout and offer a wonderfully consistent performance versus other tires in its class. 
All of these tires can be found on the Mickey Thompson Tires web site along with all specifications and every size available listed.  You can order them on the site or you can search for a dealer in your area.  Conversely, if you want to order online, you can do a Google search for the exact tire or wheel that you want and choose from the online dealers your search results in.
