MT Has Released New Pro Radial Sizes! Thats Huge!

[GNBRETT]

No need to swap to a 15 inch conversion anymore MT has how relased the Pro Radial in a 26, 27, and 28 inch on a 17 inch rim and a 29 inch on an 18 inch wheel. Pretty dope!

And for u guys running cars with clutches they have a new ET Street R Bias. The Bias version of the Street R.

The Pro Radial just hooks up so much better than the Street R tho. Its not even close. Ull nock .2 tenths off ur ET for sure.

For u guys who wanna run their factory 20 inch wheel they will be offering the Street R in that size. Thats a great uption for countless members who dont want to have to buy new wheels to fit a Street R.

This is so huge im so psyched. I was praying someone made a 15 inch conversion for my Hawk so i could run the Pro Radial in a 15 cause thats all they offer it in. Never happened cause u need 17's up front so the % of front to rear size isnt too far off cause of the AWD. Just not a big enough market for it.

But now they got a 17 inch and a 20 inch coming out so Pro Radial front and rear will make a HUGE difference in traction.

I had the Street R's on my Mustang in a 15 inch. I switched to the Pro Radial it was a NIGHT and DAY difference like not even close in traction. This is a game changer ppl sould be psyched about this especially since guys here can run the 17' and or the 20's without changing their brakes over which is why 99% dont do it.

Both Street R and Pro Radial are terrible in the rain so might as well get the better hooking tire its not like the Street R is more "Street Worthy" its not.

Does anyone run a Street R on the street? Could I throw a Street R on my 20 inch wheel, replacing my 555RIIs and hook up better or am I going to get zero longevity out of them and regret it? At ~900+ wheel, the Nitto’s show some signs of weakness.

They are releasing a 20 inch version of the Pro Radial but not sure about the Street R in that size. I was just shy of 900 whp myself with my Redeye and them 555R2's just couldnt get it done. The Street R's were better but still not great.

The Street R wont work any better in the rain than a Pro Radial will so might as well select the better hooking tire. A Pro radial in a 20 inch is a game changer for anyone running 20 inch wheels.

I would opt for the Conti Extreme Contact Sport 02 long before I put the 555R2 on if ur looking for a street tire that u can use in the rain. It hooks just as well as the 555R2 but is great in the rain and lasts way longer.

U wont get a lot of miles out of the Pro Radial its simply a much softer tire therefore it hooks better but the traction between a Pro Radial and a Street R is apples to oranges not even close and forget when comparing to the 555R2 like in a different universe!

All depends on how often and when u drive ur car. If its a toy and a weekend warrior the Pro Radial is a no-brainer.

DOT?

Pro Radials have always been DOT approved but for race only not for hiway use. The only reason the Street R is allowed for hiway use is because of the small groves it has when new but after a few burn-outs its the same as the Pro Radial.

So its sorta a gimmick to say street legal cause the reality is if a cop was to check ur Street R tire after a few burn outs there would be no more rain groves therefore the tire would no longer be safe for hiway use.

Thanks. My car never sees rain as I have a truck for anything less than ideal weather. Maybe I’ll look into a pro radial back there on my 20’s once my Nitto’s are toast.

I have a set of 17” welds with Street R’s on them for the track. Probably will move to the pro radial on those too once the R’s are done.
