Here is some information from another racing board.
It looks like they won't be out until march.
No, Paul, actually damn-near the ENTIRE Wild Street field was wearin' the new MT drag radial at the PSCA World Finals last weekend. MT brass were everywhere, taking notes and monitoring the results from each test vehicle. The blue, flamed "show car" that had the tires on at SEMA wasn't even at the race!
I was racing myself, so I unfortunately didn't get to "see" very much during the major comparative (BFG/MT head to head) testing that went on on Friday, but from the ETs and mile an hours that we did get to see on Sunday after we got eliminated, it ain't hard to tell that there's "something" in that new compound and design. Conditions were VERY good/borderline perfect when the Wild Street finals were run, and both cars in that final put down numbers they had never come close to at any other part of the season. 8.67/158 (SBC nitrous Camaro) and 8.93/153 (SBC nitrous Nova). Might not be exact numbers, but they're close. Steve Short's turbo Mustang is the "first in the 8s" on the new Mickey tire. I was told by the Wild Street racers that I did get to speak with, that overall they were all impressed with how the thing worked. It was pretty unanimous. They all reported much better 60-footers, and said top-end stability was excellent.
So, if it's a slick in "radial's" clothing or whatever, it seems like it's gonna do pretty well for PSCA's Wild Street racers in '04.
