ET STREET, ET STREET RADIAL, AND ET DRAG AIR PRESSURE GUIDELINES
PROPER AIR PRESSURE Proper air pressure is critical to the best performance of your ET Drag or ET Street racing tires. Mickey Thompson strongly suggests investing in a good tire pressure gauge and that you keep accurate and complete records of each pass. This will aid you in becoming a consistent performer. Recommending air pressure is not easy, since there are so many variables that affect it: i.e. weight distribution, transmission, chassis set-up, wheel size, etc. To help you, we have broken down the types of vehicles into the following categories with a recommended starting point for the correct air...

This story is still amazing to me. The wheels are finally here and I still don't really believe it. Anyone that may of been associated with FWD Drag Racing for a while might remember a very rare, not very used drag wheel built by BBS back in the late '90s, early 2000's. I have known about these 4x100 BBS Drag Wheels since approximately 2004 when the only 2 sets that I knew of in existence belonged to Stacey Hyche and Tracey Hyche who ran a NDRA Turbo 4 Integra and a NDRA Comp 4 Civic. They were also offered in...

Mickey Thompson Tires Service Life
UNDERSTANDING THE SERVICE LIFE OF YOUR M/T TIRES DETERMINING THE AGE OF A TIRE The manufacturing date of a tire is incorporated into an 11 digit code, called a TIN (Tire Identification Number) located down by the bead of the tire. The only exception would be most Pro Drag Radials, which do not incorporate traditional TIN's. On street legal tires, the TIN is preceded by the letters "DOT". The last four numbers of the TIN represent the week and year of manufacture. In the Example below, this tire was produced the 35th week of 2008. EXAMPLE: CY1JM5FJ3508 (3508 = date...

I am always on the hunt to find cool, rare parts on the market. Surprisingly after doing this for so many years I am still coming across new parts that I never knew existed. Enter the Mugen N1 Steering Wheels. This is a really cool piece of Mugen history because apparently these are so limited in production because they mainly went to actual N1 Race Teams for use in their race cars. Very few of these seem to be on the market and known about. Offered in both Leather and Suede the Suede ones are the holy grail for anyone...
