Default Mickey Thompson Indy Profile S/S Tires!

These tires are the shit. I just got a set put on my Camaro last night and they hook up *SO* much better than my old Goodrich Radials. Even yesterday on wet ground I was getting some pretty good hookups. The only problem is that the treadwear was labeled 000, so I doubt they're gonna last me too long at all. They look cool to boot, especially with the raised white lettering.

It's those. They're not radials, they're bias ply. They look extremely tits on the Camaro though and they were only $125 a piece up at Gearhead Performance over in Dunedin. Quality tires.

Wow, I didn't think anybody still owned a Maverick. Those cars are so delightfully white trash. One of the cooler looking Fords if you ask me.

I wonder what kind of tread life they have.

bias ply will get the heat in those tires quickly alright

and those must be a soft compound

figureing the way the describe the tire as "gets sticker as tire gets hotter" sounds like they are punching very low on the durameter so tire life has to be short

Maybe I'll get a pair of the 255/60's or 275/60's ... I only drive about 5k miles a year.
