Default Mickey Thompson S/T Tires

Anyone using these? I was thinking of getting some 275/60s for the rear on 15x8 rally wheels, and 255/60 up front.

I have them on mine. They are fine. As good as any 15 inch tire on the market...

I think tire rack or discount tire (check out Jegs too) for a better price. Summit always has a handling charge.

I can tell you one thing the cooper cobras are the worst tire I've ever driven in the rain. My nitto drag radials are better than them. I'm probably going to 18 in wheels next time around. Don't know how M/T could be worse than cooper in the rain. If somebody spits on the road it will swap ends
