Heating up the drag radials Nitto vs. Mickey T
Car is a c7 z06 auto bone stock.
In the past I've always used Nitto NT05R, however the Mickey Thompson ET street SS has gotten my attention. 20 x 10.5 rims, 305/35/20.
I know for a fact you almost had to do a John Force smoke show to get the Nittos to hook. Is it the same with the MTs, smoke show, quick burn out, or moderate burn out?
Please don't go off in a tangent where 15 inch rims are better, etc. I'm buying the MTs and am curious about the burnouts.

Safety Car
The only experience I have on these tires is with my friend's chevy SS. I found that a short burnout works much better with them than a long smoky one. If I went too long it was skate city.
When I got it right though it was very nice.

I run 18" Hoosiers on my car and once forgot to turn off TC meaning that I left with absolutely no burnout whatsoever - car still hooked perfectly fine.
