I see Mickey Thompson Radial Street Comp tires are now coming in our 275/40R17 and 315/35R17 sizes.

Decent looking and price looks vary reasonable. Has anyone tried them yet?

Will say this! I bought a set of Mickey Thompson ATZ radials for my old z71 many many years ago, they were the best tire I had ever owned.

Those tires lasted 75k on the truck.

So while it may be hard to compare a sports car tire to a LT truck tire. The resulted yielded enough evidence for me to try a set of these on a Corvette at some point.

nice, it would be better at Y rated

Just FYI, this is actually a Cooper tire. To be exact, it is a Chinese-made Zeon RS3-S with a slightly different tread pattern. I also suspect it's no wider than a Sumitomo, although that remains to be seen. They're very inexpensive, so enter with caution.

Web shows section width 12.5, tread width 11.2 for 315/35
Not sure how that measures up to others?

Hey Phillip,

These specs are meaningless, unfortunately. Tire Rack says that a Sumi's section width and tread width are 12.6" and 11.5", respectively. For a Goodyear GS-D3, the numbers are 12.3" and 11.2". Yes, according to the manufacturer's specs, a Sumi is WIDER than a GS-D3. In reality, however, place them side-by-side and you'll clearly see that the Goodyear is over an inch wider than the Sumi. Bottom-line: you can't trust manufacturer's quoted specs on tires.

Anybody want a WIDE tire that's also STICKY? Check out this vid...

If your car isn't a daily driver, I highly recommend them.
