anyone run drag radials

[RyanUpdike70]

I just order a set of mickey thompson et street drag radial 275/60/15 i was
told they was a good tire for the street. I have mt 29.5/10.5/15 slicks on it now i needed some to run on the street. I was wondering if anyone else ran these.They are on my 71 duster

I just bought the same tire for street/strip use but haven't run them yet. I would think it would be a fair weather only tire.

 

[RyanUpdike70]

yeah i dont drive it in the rain i only get it out of the garage when it nice weather

The m/t's are an excellent drag radial,so good i got rid of my slicks and run nothing else,but i don't use mine on the street i find them to be way too sticky and they tend to kick up everything on the road,and any thing you ride over ieaper.cigaretes grass ect..sticks to them.i run my regular radials on the street,which isn't to often seeing as the duster spends most of it's time on the track...

 

[RyanUpdike70]

so they hook good on the street lol What size u run

275/60 15's.........

Expect about 4 to 5k miles out of them at the most.

As Stroked340 says, they will pick up anything up to sewer lids!

 

[RyanUpdike70]

how long they last on the track

 

[RyanUpdike70]

I order those is ur car mini tubbed

They Do Hook. They Do Wear Pretty Quick Though. I Ran These The First Season My Son Started Racing. I Went Thru 2.5 Sets For The Season. I Switched To A Drag Slick For The Next Season. I Went Thru 1.5 Sets The Next Season. We Are Not Hard On Burnouts, Spin Them Until They Haze & Pull To The Line.

 

[RyanUpdike70]

i going to race it on the track maybe 3 to 4 times this summer. I will be driving it on the street more

 

[mikedevore]

You Should Get Better Life Out Of Them. I Was Discarding Mine When They Got Down To The Wear Bars.

i wondering what engine combo u was running if u dont mine sharing

I am doing some changes to my rear suspension and was wondering if that 29.5 tall tire fit in stock wheelwell and what are you running spring relocators/mini tubes or what?

 

[RyanUpdike70]

i am running mini tubs with ladder bars They are on a ten inch rim i have about and 1 inch and half from the lip of the quarter

 

[WIKD71RICK]

Do you have any pictures of the car from the rear or rear suspension

Well, you bought a 28 inch tall tire which is going to lower your gear ratio substantially. I would have went with the 295/65/15 which is 30 inches tall.

 

[RyanUpdike70]

i have 456 gears

 

[rp23g7]

I have MT 20x10x15's on the rear of the Coronet. I was wary about them in the rain around here, but havent had a issue yet

 

[white70duster]

There a great tire thats all that i run is those tires and i got my dad to change to them and he loves them. He runs a 275/60 and i run the 255/60 ET street Radials. I got a season of bracket racing out of mine. They prolly need to be replaced before this season. My dad will prolly get 2 seasons out of his.

They don't hook up very well. I pulled it out of the garage and drove it around the block. It was a little cold with no windshield. 8)
