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.
