2FAST4U
I went to the GS Nationals last weekend and noticed that a lot of the fast cars were running not slicks but Mickey Thompson's "Radial Pro" tires. I am aware that some of these cars run is classes in which they're not allowed to use anything larger than a 275-60-15 so I checked Mickey Thompson's site to find out a little more about the "Radial Pro"s and they only comes in that size and have "R2" compound. Since I'm running bracket classes and that I'm not constrained to use these size tires, I'd like to use larger tires to be able to take full advantage of the frame notch I had done on my car and I found that these "ET Street R"s which have the same R2 compound but are available in other sizes too ( I'm looking at 325-50-15 's). The thread pattern is very similar and I don't think they'd make a difference in traction...
--> My question is this: Can I expect these ET Street R"s to have as much traction as the "Radial Pro"s considering that they have the same compound?
These are the "Radial Pro"s (available only in 275-60-15): http://www.mickeythompsontires.com/strip.php?item=ETStreetRadialPro
