The best Mickey Thompson tires depend on your goal: ET Street S/S and Sportsman S/R drag radials for street-strip launches, Baja Boss and Baja Pro XS for off-road and mud, and Classic III wheels for the classic drag and truck look. Mickey Thompson is best known for DOT drag radials with soft compounds that hook hard at the strip while still being legal to drive on the street.
Mickey Thompson has been building performance tires and wheels for decades, with a lineup that splits into three worlds: drag racing (ET Street S/S, ET Street Front, Sportsman S/R), off-road and all-terrain (Baja Boss, Baja Pro XS), and classic-style wheels like the Classic III. Sizes range from front-runner skinnies like 27x6.00R17 to massive 40x13.50-17LT truck tires, so check the sizing and load rating for your vehicle before ordering.
Popular picks include the Mickey Thompson ET Street S/S Tire (P275/40R17) and the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss Tire (40x13.50R17LT).

Are Mickey Thompson ET Street S/S tires street legal?
Yes — ET Street S/S is a DOT-approved drag radial, meaning it is legal for street use. That said, the soft compound wears much faster than a normal street tire, so most owners run them as a second set for the track or weekend.
What is the difference between a drag radial and a regular performance tire?
Drag radials like the ET Street S/S and Sportsman S/R use a softer, stickier compound and flexible sidewalls for maximum straight-line traction. Regular performance tires trade some of that launch grip for better cornering, wet-weather grip, and tread life.
Will a 40-inch Baja tire fit my truck?
That depends on your truck's lift, gearing, and fender clearance. Mickey Thompson builds large sizes like the 40x13.50-17LT Baja Pro XS for lifted trucks, so check your year and model and confirm clearance before ordering.
How do I pick the right wheel and tire combo?
Match the wheel diameter and width to the tire size, verify the bolt pattern and offset fit your vehicle, and keep overall diameter close to stock if you want accurate speedometer readings. See our Top 5 Aftermarket Wheels guide for more tips.
