Default Mickey Thompson "I" Patterns.... Do you like???

Hey Guys.... Thanks to my friend (TreyZ28) He gave me a set of pretty much brand new Mickey Thompson I patterns. They are.... 9 inches wide I think. They worked very nicely on his camaro. Does anyone run these? If so how do you like them.... Just doing some research. What kinda 60's can I get out of these things with decent driving???


Thanks All :cheers:

I had a set of these I ran on my truck for a while, and I didn't like them. The tread is about like a street tire. You would be better off with a Hoosier Quick time, or an ET Street. I will say that the price was right though.

Those are OK. I wanted to go with a Mickey Thompson Sportsman Pro DOT tire. (But they're a narrower tire than my 275/40 17's)

1.9 60 ft on a camaro
and i suck at driving(well relativly :D)
dont be suprised with a 1.8 or better. Whatever they do, they are better than those dryrotted POS tires you have.
I loved them. They got hot and sticky as hell!
Do a full 4 sec burnout after the first sign of smoke :) thats where my best 60fts came
