Mickey Thompson ET Street Front Tires
Purpose-built for street/strip cars that need confident staging and rock-solid control up top, the Mickey Thompson ET Street Front is the go-to skinny front tire to pair with rear drag radials. The narrow profile trims aero and rolling resistance, and the directional tread keeps the car tracking straight while helping with braking on a prepped surface. If you're dialing in a weekend test-and-tune or grudge setup, ET Street Front can free up ETs without giving up front-end stability.
Key Features and Specifications
ET Street Front is tuned to work with rear drag radials. A lightweight casing and narrow section width cut rolling resistance, helping the car accelerate cleanly while keeping straight-line control. The directional tread supports tracking and sheds light moisture for incidental street use, and the carcass is set up for stability under braking after a pass. Designed for front use only, its tubeless, street-capable build simplifies mounting and daily prep. Pair these skinnies with your rear drag setup to sharpen launch response and reduce drag at speed.
Sizes and Fitment Guide
Popular ET Street Front sizes include 26x6.00R15LT, 26x6.00R17LT, 27x6.00R17LT, and 28x6.00R18LT, covering late-model and classic drag applications. Choose overall diameter for ride height, brake clearance, and rollout goals, then match section width to wheel width and fender space. Before ordering, confirm wheel diameter, offset, and caliper-to-barrel clearance. For best results, match front diameter to your alignment and bump-steer geometry, and make sure the tire's load and speed ratings meet your vehicle's door-jamb placard. Front use only.
Tire Pressure and Setup for the Street/Strip
Start with the vehicle manufacturer's front pressure shown on the door-jamb label, then fine-tune for steering feel and braking stability. For drag passes, many builders run slightly higher front pressures to trim rolling resistance and help the car track straight. Never exceed the sidewall maximum, and recheck when hot since heat will raise psi. Align the front end to factory specs or a mild performance setting that favors straight-line stability. After mounting, confirm directional rotation, torque lugs to spec, and re-balance after the first heat cycle or two.
Driving Experience and Handling
On the strip, ET Street Front lets the car roll freely, track straight under power, and stay composed through shutdown and braking. On the street, the skinny footprint gives a light, direct steering feel, but ultimate cornering and wet grip are lower than a conventional performance tire. Leave extra following distance in rain, avoid standing water, and keep speeds conservative on rough roads. For consistency, monitor pressures and alignment, and inspect tread for even wear between runs.
Pricing and Availability
Pricing for ET Street Front varies by size and wheel diameter, and larger or specialty fitments typically cost more. Availability is strongest in 15, 17, and 18 inch sizes common to late-model muscle and classic drag builds. Review current in-stock options, buy a matched pair for balanced braking and steering, and consider a spare to stay on schedule. Not sure whether to run 26, 27, or 28 inch diameter? Our fitment team can recommend the best size for your brake package, stance, and rollout targets.
ET Street Front vs Alternatives
Buyers often compare ET Street Front with other skinny street/strip choices. Weigh straight-line stability, size coverage, wet-road manners for incidental street use, and how well the tire pairs with rear drag radials. ET Street Front prioritizes low rolling resistance and predictable tracking in a street-capable package, which suits cars that cruise to events and run at the strip. If your build sees heavy rain or frequent daily use, a conventional performance front tire may fit mixed-use needs better.
ET Street Front vs M&H Front Runner
Both aim to cut rolling resistance with a skinny front footprint. ET Street Front focuses on directional tracking and a street-capable build, with popular 15, 17, and 18 inch sizes. M&H Front Runner is also proven at the strip, and some sizes are favorites on dedicated race setups. If you drive to and from the track, ET Street Front's tread design and size range make it an easy match with rear drag radials. For trailer-only cars, pick the size and casing feel your chassis likes best.
ET Street Front vs Mickey Thompson Sportsman Front Runner
ET Street Front is tuned for street/strip builds running rear drag radials, with an emphasis on low rolling resistance and straight-line stability. The Sportsman Front Runner targets traditional hot rod and bracket applications with different sizing and styling priorities. If you're dialing in a modern drag radial setup and want a complementary front tire, ET Street Front is the natural pick. For classic street rod looks or specific bracket fitments, compare dimensions and load ratings to see which option best fits your clearance and stance goals.

Do you have a question about ET Street Front 26X6.00R17LT?
Yes, ET Street Front is designed for street/strip use. The directional tread and construction support incidental street driving to and from events. Its skinny footprint prioritizes low rolling resistance over cornering and wet grip, so use extra caution in rain, avoid standing water, and keep speeds conservative. Always verify that load and speed ratings meet or exceed your vehicle's door-jamb placard, and inspect the tires regularly for cuts, punctures, and proper inflation.
Popular ET Street Front sizes include 26x6.00R15LT, 26x6.00R17LT, 27x6.00R17LT, and 28x6.00R18LT. Choose diameter for brake clearance, stance, and rollout goals, then select section width to match wheel width and fender clearance. Before buying, confirm wheel diameter and offset, check caliper-to-barrel clearance, and verify that the tire's load and speed ratings meet or exceed your vehicle's door-jamb placard. When in doubt, contact our fitment team with your wheel specs, ride height, and brake package for a precise recommendation.
Yes, the Mickey Thompson ET Street Front is DOT-approved, making it legal for limited street use, but it is optimized for drag racing performance rather than daily driving.
Yes, that's the intended pairing. ET Street Front complements rear drag radials by reducing front rolling resistance and improving straight-line tracking. For best results, match tire diameter to your alignment and chassis setup, ensure proper front-to-rear rake, and keep pressures consistent. Avoid mixing different front diameters left to right. After installation, verify directional rotation and re-balance after the first heat cycles to keep steering and braking feel consistent run after run.
No, there is no mileage or treadwear warranty, as it's a specialty racing tire built for performance over longevity.

Start with the vehicle manufacturer's recommended front pressure on the door-jamb label, then fine-tune for straight-line stability and steering feel. For drag passes, many setups run slightly higher front pressures to reduce rolling resistance and help the car track true. Never exceed the sidewall maximum, and recheck when hot since heat raises psi. If you change wheel width, alignment, or front weight, for example after a brake or coilover upgrade, re-evaluate pressures to maintain even wear and predictable braking.
Inspect tread and sidewalls for cuts or exposed cords after each outing, and check pressures cold before driving. Store the tires out of direct sun and away from ozone sources. If the vehicle sits for long periods, use tire cradles or roll it periodically to prevent flat spots. Keep alignment within factory or mild performance specs to avoid irregular wear, and re-torque lug nuts after the first heat cycle. Replace tires that show persistent vibration, damage, or age-related cracking.
