Arrived and Mounted
So the Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/T tires arrived:
235/60R15 fronts and 295/50R15 rears. They come boxed: http://www.primequip.net/images/65%2...-09-st-box.jpg The rears are 10" tread width, same as Goodyear "Billboards" ("GY BB"): http://www.primequip.net/images/65%2...-295-width.jpg The buldge is the same as GY BB, but rears not quite as tall: http://www.primequip.net/images/65%2...ST-BB-tall.jpg Fronts about same height: http://www.primequip.net/images/65%2...-BB-Fronts.jpg Making for a prefect fit on a 65 roadster! |
Installed
Installed yesterday:

Awaiting shorter springs so rear can be lowered. 2. Shown mounted on fantastic Vintage Wheels 3. Drive a couple miles...perfect ride!! Longer ride this Saturday. 4. Tire mount guy said balanced "first time, zeroed out" which translates to tire being true and close to balance from factory. |
S/T versus S/R
Very nice. What is the difference between the MT S/T and the S/R?
|
S/T vs S/R
The S/R is about $90/tire more, H speed rated vs T, and softer compound. MT doesn't advertise tread wear ratings, but I have searched around and some users say the S/R is TWR=80.
Other than that, I have no experience with either MT tire. But if anyone has had both the GY Billboard AND the MT S/R on a road course, I would sure like to hear your thoughts. Sam |
The S/R's tread pattern is reasonably appealing....

Anybody remember "Tire Guy"? I wonder if this is what he was working on...
