Default Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial,

Will these fit the stock cast rim?
How do they hook?
How is the tire ware?

You are talking about the new ones right? If so, I don't have any experience with them personally, but had been thinking about them to go on the truck due to the fact that I spin on almost every launch at the track. Just curious as to how they'd be on my stock rear for a while though. They seem to hook really good from what everyone else has said. If you end up running them, let me know how they are, cause I can get a decent price on them from my local tire shop. Like $400 for tires with mounting and balancing.

Cool

I think something like this would be great for street use, depending on tire ware. The trucks get no traction with the light rear.

Coil overs, stall, & a set of these on the streets.

Depending on how many miles you drive, you'd be replacing them pretty quick, as I've heard you'll only get about 5000 miles out of them. Definately not what I'd want on a street truck.

if you use them just for the track, then just get the street et's, they bite hard

Friend of mine has gone 1.64 60fts with consistant high 1.6s. stock leafs, no sway bar, drilled front shocks, and a big converter. the truck is a reg cab chevy cammed 5.3. these tires are truly bad ***. As much as my bud races and how good the tires still look, Id say tire life is really good.
