Dave Hance Sets Two New World Records On Mickey Thomspon ET Street Radials At U.S. Street Nationals, January 23-25, 2009

The Fastest And The Quickest Quarter Mile On Street Legal Tires

01/28/09

Stow, OH - Dave Hance has made drag radial history by being the first drag racer to break into the sixes on street legal tires. During testing at the U.S. Street Nationals, Hance ran a 6.93-second pass at 207.66 miles per hour, and earlier that week ran the quarter mile at 223 miles per hour – all on Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial tires. Dave runs the Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial size P315/60R15 (Part #3763R).

“When you see a drag racer breaking world records on a street legal performance tire, there is no question that these tires deliver the performance we say they will,” said Carl Robinson, Motorsports Manager, Mickey Thompson Performance Tires & Wheels. “We congratulate Dave and his team on this incredible achievement and were very glad to be at the event to witness this ground breaking performance”.

The legendary Mickey Thompson race tire technology is built into the ET Street Radial. This tire uses the latest high-tech radial construction techniques combined with years of drag racing experience and compound development, to deliver a D.O.T.-approved, street-legal drag radial tire. The ET Street Radial is made of a soft compound with low-void directional tread for superior dry traction on the street or at the strip, along with radial construction for a comfortable, responsive ride.
