MT ET R on Dyno

I just got a brand new set of MT ET R's in 305/45/18 and need to get my car on the dyno in a few days. I dont have a second set of wheels at the moment.

I've heard that putting those tires on a dyno will:

1. Eat up alot of the soft tread compound
2. Void any kind of warranty offered by MT.
3. Possibly skew numbers

https://mickeythompsontires.com/tech...-use-on-a-dyno

I've dyno'd several times with my previous MT ET Street SS drag radials and had zero problems. However these R's are much softer and pretty pricey.

Do you think I can get away with doing 3-4 pulls? Or should I find a loaner set of street tires?

Going to the same dyno I always use, but expect to make over 1000whp.

I appreciate peoples input, but do you have any experience with these tires? Have you put them on a dyno? I drive the mickeys every time I use the car. 99.9% street.

I'm thinking if I just air them up to 25psi so the sidewall doesnt crush, maybe it'll be ok.

I always dyno with my MT ET Street Rs. I want the car tuned on the same rubber I race on. Dozens of pulls, never a problem.

Thanks! I was gonna do it anyway, but its good to know its not a problem.

Been street tuning but I just cant keep it hooked up anymore. Breaks loose in 3rd at 5500. Dropped pressure down to 18psi, but no luck. Still have 2 or 3 more degrees of timing to add (probably). Its making tons of power on just 15psi. Gonna have to finish up on the dyno.

Has a lot to do with heat. You shove the soft mickey's on a warm day and spend a few hours doing pulls in a hot garage or outside in the sun at a car show and the rubber will chunk and you will have a different problem you may have already seen.

Can it be done? sure ,is it recommended, NO.

Airing up more sounds like a temporary band aide for a potential blow out or rubber chunking under heat and swaying numbers.

MT will not warranty a tire that has seen a dyno, i remember this topic came up years ago on a forum and a MT merch rep straight up said NONE of their tires should be operated on a dyno. Heat is one thing, being strapped down hard and growing due to heat but with nowhere to go... KABOOM
