Mickey Thompson SR's 15"

[fastd]

i have the SRs - they replaced avons.

i really like the SRs. good street tire - better street tire than the avons imo.

i like the profile of the SRs - they fit the wheel wells better and i dont mind the flame pattern either (looks worse in picturs than in "real life").

i've had the SRs on VIR (on my 68 mustang) - thought they were fine there also. avon is a better track tire but im not a good enough track driver to really notice the difference. side walls are much stiffer in the avons but a properly inflater SR performs nicely.

honestly all in all, for all around driving, i choose SR over avons.

Regarding the "let me know before they break loose" issue, from prior discussions with other race car drivers (I could be wrong and am certain that if I am others on this forum will correct me, for that matter even if I am right I probably will be corrected as well) is that bias ply tires do not have as good of grip as radials, but they do let you know when you are starting to break loose. Whereas radials do not give a warning when they are loosing grip, they just keep on trying and then suddenly let loose.
