Yeah they can be driven on the road as in IF u encounter a bit of rain u MIGHT get home lol BUT technically none of the drag radials are legal in Australia..

The only legal Mickey in this category is a Street Comp and they are being phased out but they are pretty much only an Invo comparable Tyre..

Iv used a cheater slick M&H before (ET ST equivalent) and got stuck coming home and doing 60ks all of a sudden was facing the other way in traffic :/ and was very lucky to not get plowed from the bloke going the other way ..

But if by chance I have them on and have a copper behind me they "look" like a more road going tyre than the rest.. and the above reasons have swayed me to give em a try..

I don't think I would ever drive home on slicks. It's not worth it. Getting a yellow sticker off would be a nightmare. It only takes 15min to change back to the road tires. Only down side is I need to get someone else to drive my other car with all the tools etc.

What are those m&h drag radials like? I'd never heard of em but this fruit loop at the drags was telling me their better than mt streets and the nt05r I had on at the time

Must be cheaper as well?

Yeah from what I read they are a bees dick better than a Micky Radial and are a 1/2" wider in footprint..

This is what the tread pattern looks like compared to a Mickey and I reckon its a better more streetable looking tread pattern and will have a bit better manners if I get stuck in some weather..

Yeah man that's the problem with me too.. I often like to go to the track by myself and have a few runs and dont really trust chaining them to a pole like ya did in the old days lol..

clearing a defect isnt too bad if u have stockers at home.. guess ill have to risk it..

It's not just tires that they look at. Everything else on the car will most likely be changed.
