M/T radial tread wear

Since the new M/T radials have been out for a season or so now how many miles are you guys getting out of them or look like you will?

I just found out a set are in the mail for me for x-mas

Oh, the car is just a saturday car, not a daily driver.

Re: M/T radial tread wear

I've had mine on the car few a few months they are the 255 50 R16s. They are the only tire I run on the car as it only gets driven about 4-5000 miles a year. So far they look fantastic with about 20 track passes and probably 700-1000 miles. They are wearing better than my BFG DRs ever did. They also seem to have a deeper tread...it may not be much tread, but its deeper. I also noticed not so much rubber up in my wheel well like I used to see with my BFGs. I think M/T got it right...a DR that gives me 1.55 60's and is lasting, too...I used to get 4000ish miles out of my BFGs , we'll see..You'll be happy...Merry X-mas...

Re: M/T radial tread wear

WOW, I was thinking more like 3000 SWEET.

Well it sounds like it will fix my consistant 2.40 short time (tires I have now are more suited for a Honda I think )
I was traping at 100 with my old stock fuel pump with a 14.3 14.2 14.1 with 2.40 short times.
With more tuning, long tubes, O/R pipe, rockers, M/T, the new racetronix pump that in the car and a 150 shot I HOPE to run an 11.9 on a prep night and cool air... we will see.

GMHTP just did a Impalla SS (LT1) that on a 150 shot droped 1.6 seconds hmmmm

I said they seemed to be wearing better...we'll see how many miles I actually get out of them, but so far I'm optimisitc..and they just hook like glue....
