I'm sure Covid has effected Micky Thompson.
I can't say this is new at all.
In 2015 As my husband had me testing different Drag radials while waiting maybe 6 months for the ETrs.
They are the Best tire for a modified Hellcat and many other car brands use them too. They changed many racers on what they were using at our MSHS races.
Nittos were the most Fun because they love heat and oh those Smokey Burnouts were awesome to do. Kate got All my Hand me downs. She loves doing Smokey Burnouts.
She does not do small ones with MT ETrs.
She runs 11.50 Bracket and is well known.
I guess maybe she will be getting some Nittos.
