Mickey Thompson Tire and Wheel

The Legend Behind the Brand

Few names in automotive performance carry the weight of Mickey Thompson. Mickey Thompson Tires & Wheels traces its roots to 1963, when racing pioneer and land-speed record holder Mickey Thompson turned his obsession with winning into a brand built on innovation and necessity. Mickey Thompson tires quickly became the weapon of choice for competitors at venues ranging from the Bonneville Salt Flats to the Indianapolis 500, Le Mans, and Daytona — cementing a motorsports legacy that still drives the brand today.

Built to Win: A Legacy of Firsts

Mickey Thompson the man was not content with incremental improvements. He pursued breakthroughs. Among the brand's earliest innovations were wide, low-profile tires at a time when no such product existed on the market. Mickey Thompson was also credited with creating the first low-profile 50/60/70 raised white-letter tires, and the company went on to pioneer milestones like the world's first one-piece drag wheel with an integrated beadlock system. This relentless spirit of innovation is woven into every product the brand produces today.

Street, Strip, Truck, and Off-Road

Headquartered in Stow, Ohio, Mickey Thompson markets racing and high-performance products for virtually every driving environment. Their expansive tire lineup spans drag racing slicks, street performance tires for classic and modern muscle cars, and rugged off-road treads for trucks and SUVs. Models like the ET Street series have become icons on the drag strip, while the Baja Boss has earned a devoted following among off-road enthusiasts who demand aggressive traction in demanding terrain.

Beyond tires, Mickey Thompson produces a full ecosystem of wheel and wheel accessories. Their wheel lineup is engineered to be both lightweight and strong, with designs spanning the SideBiter, Classic, and Deegan 38 series — each backed by a limited lifetime structural warranty. To complement their wheels, Mickey Thompson also offers wheel caps as direct-fit replacements for their own wheel families, ensuring a polished, factory-correct finish whether you're on the street or the trail. And for dedicated drag racers running slicks, Mickey Thompson tire inner tubes — made from 100% natural rubber — are a purpose-built solution for maintaining proper tire shape and consistency during high-horsepower launches.
