I used them on the modball rally sydney to brissy and back so I only had my 98 425 rwkw tune in the car and they held pretty dam well.<br /><br />I wouldn't say they are any better than the invos but they certainly are on par. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/87426-mickey-thompson-street-comp/#findComment-1452927 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good tyre in the dry if you don't mind a bit of tyre noise, id only ever run them on the rear of a street car . 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/87426-mickey-thompson-street-comp/#findComment-1452995 Share on other sites More sharing options...
