I'm gettin ready to buy some RWL tires for my 83Z. Since my first choice, the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 are no more, I thought about getting a set of the Mickey Thompson radials. I just wanna know what my fellow third genners think of this tire!!

 

do have the power that would warrant a radial? is this for looks? what do you use the car for?

in short, MT e/t streets are a great tire but you should still be able to find the wide oval some places.

 

Just a FYI... M/T now sells true street tires. I think that's the ones the OP is talking about. They are NOT a drag radial.

Ron U.S.M.C just put a set on his car now long back, and posted pictures and what not of them. Looks great on his car.

 

Thanks for the complement Night rider327 ,

Thank you for all the input!! The car is a resto-mod. She looks like she just came out of the factory. Except when you look under the hood and hear her!! I am looking for that original old school look, but I also wanna be able to nail it some too!!!! I thimnk these are just what I am looking for!!
Ron, I noticed that you put 3.42 gear in your car... How do you like that set up? I am also thnkiing about changing mine as well!! Again, thank you alol very much for the help!!

 

Amaro83 , I'm not trying to push the S/T's on you because there are others , not many, but a few.
The thing about the "All Season" S/T Street Radials by M/T is the aggressive tread design. It has a heavy lug to it and I like that .There is not a lot to choose from in a 15in. tire for a primarily driven street car so this fits the bill for me. And having the Mickey Thompson name on it helps.

As far as the gears go I spent a good piece of change to have the 3.42s put in with all the bells and whistles.Love the 3.42s with the Eaton Posi. and have absolutely no regrets. It fits my "have some fun" DD status perfectly.

I heard a lot of good reviews about the Sportsman S/T's. Just curious on how they perform when turning corners.
