Mickey Thompson street comp quick REVIEW. 285 on Brembo package 19x9 wheel
- Thread starter walked_u_hard
- Start date
I agree with all the above, except the super sticky part. I would like to have traction in 2nd gear.
I didnt get them from AM but, yes those are the same tires.
can your finger nail push the rubber in at all? i cant with these tires, or move the lugs around with my finger, they are a pretty hard compound.
nitto 555's are much softer, and so are the sumitomo htrz2
I bought a set of 4 of these when I ordered my wheels from AM, I got the 255/40/19 on a 8.5" wheel up front and 285/35/19 on a 10" wheel out back and I love them, as said in cold temps they leave much to be desired but as said they are after all a summer tire, for the price they are hard to pass up

Thank you!!
in the heat of late summer, mine are very sticky and i get great traction..i mean, at over 400 rwhp i can smoke em all day if i want but with throttle management my car is like a rocket on these tires....soemtimes they can be too sticky bc they pick up everything and sling it into the wheelwell...for the money, i dont think they can be beat
I would buy 275/35/19 Nitto 555's which are at the same price point, over the MT street radial for the traction. Nitto 555's wont last as long as the MT street radial, but they provide much better traction throughout their life. Im not dissatisfied with my purchase but im also not completely happy either, they are a daily driver tire at best.
Just my experience with them, maybe im expecting too much from them.

Hmmmm I need tires soon....well dont really "need" lol
Not in the first few posts, that was the stock 255 up front. I do have the 285's all around in the last picture in front of the firehouse.
I am looking at these and the bridgestone potenza re-11 i cant decide
with out a doubt the bridgestone's would be a stickier tire, but wouldnt last as long as the MT's i have on my car.
I am looking at these for my Brembo car...did you have any issues with your speedo being inaccurate after the install? They look great!

They are shorter than the stock 255/40/19's so your speeoometer will read faster than what your actually going. It won't be off by a lot though, either way i adjusted the tire size in my tune to 805 revolutions per mile and it reads accurate. Stock tire size is 770.

I like the grip of my nitto Invos. before I decided to get them I looked at these Mickey Thompsons but the reviews I read about both tires favored the nitto Invos, so i went with my 285/35/19's on a 10 inch rim and 255/40/19's on the front on set of boss 302 Laguna Seca hyper black wheels. Like them a lot !
If I may ask, how far out will my speedo be? Just trying to understand what I will be in for.
Thanks again guys!

My rear tire diameter is the same as my stock tires, so no change in the speedo. And I went from 18's to 19's. the new tires are lower profile and I have improvements in handling ,quietness grip and appearance.
This thread will explain lots for you. I had a similar thing going from 235/55-18s all the way around to 255/40-19s and 285/35-19s. There's a tire size calculater here that will show you what the differences will be when changing tire and wheels sizes if any. I can tell you in my case overall I'm probably losing just over half a mile per hour when the speedo says 60mph. Hardly worth noticing. You would have a bigger issue with a 4x4 pickup truck if you were going from a standard LT truck tire to some big meaty off road tires where they are three inches taller or something and where you think you are doing 35mph when you are really going closer to 40mph or something.
