Default 295 50 16 tires

anyone ever try the 295 50 16 tires? To be more specific, either the 295 BFG street tire OR the Mickey Thompson 295 50 16 ET street radial. I have the 295's BFG tires on now, and will burn through them really quick and I want to try these new MT 295/50/16's ET street drag radials. the MT's are on the bottom half of the page, http://www.mickeythompsontires.com/s...ETStreetRadial

Haven't tried that size tire. However, the ET Street vs. the BFG DR should last much longer. And likely produce better 60' times as well.

Thumbs up Re: 295 50 16 tires

Hello, I am new to the forums but old to the site. I own a set of 16x10 Gnx style wheels and am also in the market for a set of 295/50s. I didnt realize until after I bought the wheels that that particular size was a little hard to come by and when I did find it they were basically s-rated truck tires I did however, also find that mickey thompson was making that size. I wasnt sure though when they are being released. I have been on the Jegs and Summit websites but they both do not give me a definite shipping date. Would you guys happen to know when or if these will be released? Id love to get these ASAP
