Sad Day - My last set of MT ET SS drags
Its a sad day for me. I am about to put on my last set of OEM SIZE Mickey Thompson drag radials. This will be my third set and I have had great results with this tire. As most of us know, they quit producing the 20 inch tire due to wobble complaints . Fortunately, I have had zero issues with that. This could be the last set out there as I found these in Canada and have called no less than 100 online tire stores who stated they had this tire in stock only to find out they had planned to order from Mickey Thompson in which I pre told them they no longer are available.
well- may this last set burn rubber happily as my first drag day is Saturday then a 2 day AutoX event in 2 weeks...

stock size
They are stock size for the rear...335 25 20 .. but they quit producing them about 2 years ago. You will see plenty online and even some that say IN STOCK.. but I assure you after you call them, none are actually there..
on a side note - here is our next Corvette member..minus the pappy

Side markers
they sell the whole blackout kit for like $34 on most corvette vender websites. Front side, rear sides, and back side.. I like them and they still show through when the car is turned on. It just a precut cut out shape you stick on..5 minute mod

Fronts
Mine was as straight as an arrow.. atleast until my highest speed of around 140-150ish. I have the Nitto Invos on front in stock size. I had heard that mixing drags and runflats were somewhat challenging so I switch both from the get go. I can say I have been totally satisfied with this set up for drag and AutoX. I just ensure to get everything aligned and road force balance each time...

I run 19" nto5r's out back and had the same problem with it wandering at the big end. It felt like the front tires (run flats) were grabbing everything in their path.
