mickey thompson sportsman s/r tires

[Fred Douglass]

Bill,

What are the rim-widths you're using? I have a set of 10" and 8" wide Vintiques (?) AND also a set of 12" and 10" wide Centerlines. My Butler cobra is set up for absolutely huge tire widths (up to 17" in the rear), but am considering exactly what you're running on your Hurricane. Unfortunately, I didn't see the M/T S/Rs designated in the 295 and 255 sizes you stipulated. DO you have part numbers on these?

One cobra owner I know runs M/T Sportsman tires---they're non-radial, but he says they're great for drifitng---really predictable. I'd be interested in hearing your opinion(s) about that type, also.

Thanks for any input,

I emailed Mickey Thompson S/R radial asking how they handle and what the treadwear was. They say they handle 'good' (compared to what I don't know) and they did not have a treadwear number. They said they where a 'hard' compound and should last 10-20k. So, not to hard!
