I ordered the Mickey-Thompson
The reason for the 20” wheels. I have two extra High Country wheels I picked up at a good price.

I've owned both and this is very accurate. The MTs are dangerous on wet pavement while the Nittos work a little better in the rain. MT's stick way better on street or strip.

I loved the mickey T 275 drag radial. It was an amazing tire. I tried the street radial and the radial R. I didnt see a difference between the two other than the street radial being better in the rain. I wish mickey thompson would make a street radial as a BIG tire so i could get them for my camaro. time to see how the quick time pro does. they would be mounted and driving, but the tire shop scratched both of my powder coated wheels
