The Mickey Thompson ET Street S/S is a true street-legal drag radial designed to bridge the gap between pavement and strip. Using the proven R2 racing compound, it delivers serious traction with minimal burnout—perfect for high-power Corvettes chasing quicker launches without tire swapping. Its design offers enough tread void to handle mild wet conditions, while its aggressive contact patch maximizes grip in dry environments. For drivers who want one tire that can double duty on street and strip, this is one of the most trusted options available.
Size: 305/45-17 (common choice for drag rear setups)
Rim width recommendation: 9.5" to 11.5" wheels to maintain optimal profile and contact patch
Not suitable for front axle use—designed for rear traction applications
Street-legal under DOT regulations; usable on public roads though wear and “feel” differ from normal street tires
Best results when matched in pairs to ensure consistent launch and grip
Section width: 11.9 in
Tread width: 10.6 in
Compound: R2 racing compound (same as elite drag radials)
Street-legal drag radial — DOT-approved with R2 compound for race-level grip
