The Mickey Thompson ET Street R is a D.O.T. approved, street legal drag tire designed for drivers who need serious traction at the drag strip without using a dedicated slick. Developed using Mickey Thompson’s race-proven technology, the ET Street R combines the company’s R2 drag racing compound with a minimal tread void to maximize the amount of rubber in contact with the racing surface. Its radial construction provides a strong choice for high-horsepower street and strip vehicles, including modified Gen 3 HEMI platforms such as the Dodge Challenger and Charger. Tubeless construction eliminates the added expense and inconvenience of inner tubes while maintaining a reliable seal when installed on the appropriate wheel. Available in a broad range of 15, 17, 18, and 20-inch sizes, the ET Street R gives racers multiple options for building a wheel and tire combination around their vehicle and performance goals.

Putting horsepower to the pavement is one of the biggest challenges when modifying a Gen 3 HEMI. Pulley upgrades, supercharger modifications, camshafts, E85, forced induction, and other performance upgrades can quickly overwhelm conventional street tires, particularly from a dig. More power only becomes useful at the track when the tire can effectively transfer it to the racing surface.

The ET Street R is designed specifically to address that problem. Mickey Thompson uses its R2 compound, which is a specialized compound used across the ET Street R, ET Street S/S, and ET Street Radial Pro product lines. Combined with the tire’s wide contact area and minimal tread void, this design maximizes available tread contact for improved traction during hard launches and acceleration.

For Gen 3 HEMI owners, this makes the ET Street R particularly attractive for high-output Challenger, Charger, Hellcat, Scat Pack, SRT8, and other compatible performance builds where straight-line traction is a priority. The tire is not HEMI-specific, however, and can be used across many makes and models when the selected tire dimensions, wheel specifications, load requirements, and available vehicle clearance are appropriate.

Mickey Thompson offers the ET Street R in numerous sizes, ranging from the compact P225/50R15 through larger options such as the P305/35R20. Popular performance-oriented sizes include P275/40R17, P315/35R17, P305/45R17, P325/35R18, and P305/45R18. Depending on the selected size, overall diameter ranges from approximately 24.1 to 31 inches, while tread widths extend as wide as 12.1 inches. Approximate tire weights range from 21 to 38 pounds.

The ET Street R is also D.O.T. approved for street use, allowing a properly equipped vehicle to drive to and from the track on the same tire. This provides additional convenience for enthusiasts who do not want to transport and swap a dedicated set of slicks at every event. The tubeless design further simplifies a typical street and strip setup.

For drivers focused on drag racing performance, the Mickey Thompson ET Street R delivers a combination of race-oriented compound technology, broad sizing availability, minimal tread void, and street-legal construction. Whether you’re trying to improve your 60-foot time or simply make better use of increased horsepower, the ET Street R is built around one primary objective: getting power to the ground.
