I'm REALLY digging these new Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial tires. Especially because they come in nice sizes for 16 and 17 inch wheels.

P315/45R16
P295/50R16

P315/35R17
P295/45R17

P305/35R18
P345/35R18

I think the 295/45/17 is perfect for what I want. However I'd like to get a front tire with similar tread pattern. Anybody know what would come close?

Thanks,
Nick

True, but I'm looking for a front tire. The regular NT-555 is still a close match. Just doesn't have the solid section up the center.

Kumho Ecsta MX is similar:

you could run them up front as well, 275 40 17.. i know schwartz ran drag radials on all four corners on the skid pad with caddilack attack... its a very soft compound tire so roadholding should be awesome...

No kidding?? The sidewall didn't deform too much because they are meant as a drag tire?

THESE tires ROCK!
Friend built a Camaro and put them on and the dang things are SUPER sticky!
He loves them and even with his aggressive alignment they are wearing great and he ran on Power Tour too.
