Guess they discontinued my Mickey Thompson ET street 2's :mj:
WTF?? did anyone else notice this?? 305/35/20

Been told they are doing away with that line up as the new ET street SS is a better constructed tire.

Lol better for who? The idiots who try to drive thier dragradials in the rain?
My car is purely a toy for the weekends and want maximum dry weather traction..
This just might push me over the edge to sell my forgestars and use my welds fulltime. This pisses me off.

Looks like the ET Street Radial 2's are still available, Not sure what you're complaining about with their new SS line, it's supposed to be the same tire with noted better water evacuation, and about 20 bucks cheaper per tire.

 

[toomnymods]

Actually their about 60 bucks more per tire at jegs, Atleast last time I seen them available at jegs
2 months ago the et street 2's where 308.00 a piece and these new SS tires are 367.00 each..

The SS's are suppose to be better... Hopefully they can do a better job at making these tire's round this time.

I love the tires they hook good on the street but suck on the track I've never gotten a good 60' with them

Been mid 1.4 60s on the et street 2s 305/35/20. Street ss are the same tire with better water shedding. I daily on the et streets so better in the rain is good. I have friends who run the ss and cannot tell the difference.

Has anyone tried the Nitto NT05r's? I like that they are about $100 cheaper per tire than the MT's but do they hook as well?

 

[Scott8583]

I've gone 1.54 on 315/40/18 NT05r's... They don't hook as good as a MT. They have a stiffer side wall & not quite as soft. Descent roll race tire for high speeds.

I agree.. I have had 2 sets now out of round.

Im on 305/45r17 mt et street r's, who needs et street 2's lol

 

[Tx5.0]

I wish they made those in 18's =(

 

[BMR Tech]

For my 19's...they actually did go down in price.

But they also went down in diameter from 27.9 to 27.4.....

WTF Mickey Thompson! lol... I would gladly spend $40 more per tire for a "28"

ET street R is a bad mofo from what I hear. Closer in performance to the 275/60R15 Pro then the old ET street 2. Unfortunately for the OP they don't make them in 20's.

 

[HighTorque]

I just spent all weekend running on my r's and let me tell you great effin tire.

 

[20lbbooster]

I just picked up a set of ET street SS 305/40/18 for my street tires. Mounted on 18x10 brembo replicas. Wanted to look stock. Haven't tried them out yet, but the tires look great!

The ET Street S/S basically has the same tread-to-void ratio, compound and steel-belted construction as the ET Street Radial II. The tread void has been redistributed for improved hydroplane resistance.
The ET Street R (Radial Sizes) use the same construction and compound as the ET Street Radial Pro with little tread void.
The ET Street R (Bias Sizes) are still the optimum choice for clutch-equipped applications.
