Mickey Thompson ET Street S/S Drag Radial Tires
Chase better launches and stay street-ready with the Mickey Thompson ET Street S/S. This DOT-approved drag radial pairs a sticky compound with steel-belted radial construction for the hook you want at the strip and the stability you need on the highway. A street-friendly tread helps in light rain when driven prudently, and the stiff carcass supports consistent 60-foot times and confident braking. If you want one tire to drive to the track, set a personal best, and head home, the ET Street S/S is up for it.
Why Choose the ET Street S/S
Built for enthusiasts who want real drag performance without giving up road manners. Its steel-belted radial build delivers high-speed stability and clear road feel, while the high-traction compound and minimal tread void put rubber where it matters for hard launches. The pattern channels light water so the tire stays manageable in mild wet conditions when you drive conservatively. Because it is DOT approved, you can skip the trailer and run to and from the track with predictable staging and a composed highway ride.
Sizes and Fitment Guide
Available in popular sizes like 305/45R17, 275/60R15, and 305/35R20, among others. Confirm wheel width, overall diameter, and fender clearance before you buy, especially with wider rears or lowered cars. Keep overall diameter within about 3% of your OE spec to protect speedometer accuracy and driveline behavior, and always match tires across the driven axle. Verify load and speed ratings against your door-jamb label, and for staggered setups make sure front to rear diameter works with ABS and traction systems.
Street and Strip Performance
At the strip, the ET Street S/S aims for consistent launches and repeatable passes thanks to its radial carcass and sticky compound. On the street, it tracks straight and brakes predictably for everyday use. Warm the tire briefly before hard hits, then fine tune pressures to your vehicle and suspension; small changes of 1 to 2 psi can move 60-foot times and stability. Use caution in heavy rain or cold, and protect performance with alignment checks and proper storage between events.
ET Street S/S vs. ET Street R
Both are DOT street-legal drag tires, but they serve different priorities. ET Street S/S balances street manners with strong straight-line traction and a tread pattern that stays manageable in light rain. ET Street R pushes harder at the track, trading wet-road usability and some street comfort for maximum bite. Choose S/S if you drive to events and want predictable behavior on public roads, pick R if all-out track grip is the goal.
Price, Availability, and Buying Tips
Prices vary by size and availability, with larger or specialty fitments typically costing more. Watch for seasonal promos or bundle deals when buying axle pairs. For best results, purchase matched sets for the driven axle and have a qualified shop mount and balance them. Confirm the return policy for unmounted tires, keep your paperwork for warranty support, and ask our team to verify stock and lead times so you can plan your next track day.
Installation, Break-In, and Care
Have a performance-minded shop mount and balance the ET Street S/S, follow any rotation arrows or sidewall markings, torque lugs to spec, then re-torque after the first heat cycle. Break in the tread with 50 to 100 miles of normal driving before hard launches. Tune pressures for the strip, then return to safe street settings for the drive home. Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and fuels, inspect for cuts, flat spots, and uneven wear, and keep alignment and suspension healthy for consistent traction.
