Guess Mickey just proved my buddy Mike wrong (and myself in the process) (yes, I can admit when I am wrong). Guess they did a small run of 3880 fronts! At least that’s what I heard. My guy is gonna email me a price when they get theirs. Supposedly you can order drop ship thru summit NOW. Cha mf ching

Old news. You knew I'd be in here when I saw this post, lol.

Mickey Thompson ET Street Front # 3880 28x6.0x18

The price of tires are crazy now. These are $335 each!

My offer for yours is still valid: $300 for the pair shipped.

There are other tires
Worth investing in.

Wow

There’s other tires yeah but these are the shit

Never looked at tire as investment? Always see them as a expense. But I don’t rely on my car for peace of mind either…

What's special about these vs the M&H Frontrunner?

4.5/28-18 DOT Certified NEW Tire!

They are a radial. Weight rating is only 1100 lbs or so though.

Those aren’t radial. M&H makes a radial front but not with ^^^ that tread design. Not sure they even offer it in a 18 🤔. Maybe?

I guess I wasn't clear. The M/T is a radial and that is the difference with the M&H MSS25 which is a bias ply

 

[Speedy]

Soooo, the MT is the lesser robust tire from a weight rating perspective?

 

[SickToo]

That’s what the numbers on the sidewall would suggest but as happens often it’s not really the case : )

I think the Mickey rolls easier which prolly makes no difference on quick cars. My car isn’t quick so there is more weight on the front at the stripe than there is on something quick

*wow. I oughta paint those side marker lights lol

 

[Speedy]

Gotcha, I was hoping to hear they were 50% lighter or something lol.

My buddy runs a Hoosier up front that's super light weight but not DOT approved and the classes I race in require that.

 

[SickToo]

I HAD both sitting here brand new but didn’t weigh em lol

My wheels are really heavy

Sorry

 

[Unholy707]

Sorry everyone, this post is my fault lol. Send @SickToo a pic that I got them and he couldn’t believe it. I bought them last Sunday, got them Wednesday. Already on the car

Weight of tire with 18x5 foregestar f14 front

 

[Unholy707]

They’re sticky as hell too, more so than my rear et street r’s even though they’re the same compound

I'm glad you weighed them. Looks like you have the same wheel setup I run at the track. I'll weigh my front Forgestar with the "truck" tire to compare the weight difference.

 

[DEANGEL]

For reference, the Racestar 18x5.0 wheel with the "truck" tire weighs 48 lbs.

Weight Difference - Drag Star Wheels with M/T Tires vs...

 

[SickToo]

And I didn’t “not believe you”. I believed you. Was just very surprised

Weighing different tires that are mounted on different wheels on different bathroom scales : )

 

[Unholy707]

Hey man, best I could do. Surprised I even had the foresight to weight them at all lol

 

[Speedy]

M&H Racemaster Front Runner on a Race Star Drag Star Bracket Racer 18x5 wheel weighs 37lbs for comparison. It was cheap and light.
