Wow, I used to love Mickey Thompson tires in my old school days (bias ply and slicks for drag racing) myself and it seems to have to have good reviews. I'm curious and all ears..............Thanks for sharing!

The Mickey Thompson Street Comp is a rebranded Cooper Zeon RS3-S. A bit of info for those who care: it's no wider than a Sumitomo.

Gotta say, I find it interesting that this thread has turned into a chorus of guys explaining that they can't justify the cost of the Goodyears. So what? Phillip was just doing us a favor by notifying us that they're available again.

Nittos are great tires. If you need good grip for track days NT01 is in order, for high performance street driving an NT05 will suffice. They are not recommended for rain or cold weather.

Anybody know anything about Mitas? I hear they make good tractor tires.

Oh, I'm sorry...was this thread supposed to be a notification about GS-D3s being available again in ZR-1 sizes? I had no idea.

For those running the 555's and Drag Radials, consider using the 555R2 front as a better match. Won't have the treadlife of the plain 555 but you'll have good balance. This was what I used as cold and/or wet race tire package on my Cobra back in the day, fwiw.

Cheers,

So are the Nittos narrower like the Sumitomos? I currently have the BFG KDs, which are wide (as wide, maybe even a hair wider than the old GY GSCs). They KDs are great in the dry but fortunately I never had to drive them in the wet. It is now time to get new tires as the KDs are old but I don't want to settle for a narrow tire.

I had the BFG KDs and they are smaller than the GY GSCs also they were some of the worst tread wear of any tire besides the summitomos. The best tread wear tires I had was Falkins but they don't make em in the rear sizes

I didn't find the BFG KDs smaller as you can see in the photo of the 315s below. They may have even been just a hair wider, but at the very least the same width. Both tires are mounted on wheels in this photo. As far a wear goes, I just didn't put enough miles on mine to have any wear issues so that probably won't be a consideration for me with the next set I purchase.



Here is a blowup of this image where the KDs appear to be just a tiny bit wider (but again, at the very least the same width).
