Any one know anything about Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial Tires? Thinking about putting these on spare tire rims.

Size: P255/50-16
Rim: 8.0''
Dia.: 26.1''
Tread Width: 9.7''
Section Width: 10.3''

 

Get some factory alluminum rims .. the spare tire rim is to narrow for the slicks.

This is the 1st I've heard of them though. I just got me a pair of regular ET Streets.

 

Those look nice!!

 

I've been looking into the M&H DR's that were posted last week. Once I find something out, I'll let everyone know. Right now, I'm being told that they aren't in production yet.

They're 265-60-16s, which are about 28" tall, and 11" wide.

 

I was just looking through the new Hot Rod magazine and there is an article in there about them. MT debuted them at the '03 SEMA show, so they are brand new. The only size available right now is a 275/60 15.

 

Stop in at JEGs to get a drive shaft loop, and asked them about the MT. They said they have about five pairs on order in the 255/59-16 size and they are not expected till the middle of June . I think I am just going to give up on these spare rims and find another pair of the aluminum stock ones. Very interested on those M&Hs! That is the size I have been looking for. Do you think they will fit on the stock 16" aluminum rims?

 

Since I need tires as soon as possible, what about the MT ET Streets. Does anyone know or has the 27X10.50-16LT or 28X11.50-16LT mouted on there stock aluminums? It calls for a 8" rim, but do you think I can get away with a 7"? Also will I need to run rubber tubes with these tires?

 

I really wish they'd make a larger diameter tire, none of the dr companies make anything bigger than about 26 dia for 16" wheels.

 

i'm running the 28x11.5-16 et streets on my stock aluminum wheels with no problems. didn't put tubes in them either
