Mickey Thompson Tires Backs Pro Street Alley at HOT ROD Power Tour
We’re going old school at HOT ROD Power Tour, and Mickey Thompson Tires is bringing the big meats.
Pro Street is a trend that began in the 1970s and was immortalized in the 1980s with its distinct look and feel. Today, the big tire trend is still a movement, and we’re celebrating these awesome machines on the opening day of the 2025 Chevrolet Performance HOT ROD Power Tour Driven by Hagerty. On Monday, June 9, at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park, we’re parking a fleet of these machines in the Mickey Thompson Tires Pro Street Alley.

The Pro Street showcase only happens in Indy, but many of the participants are embarking on the weeklong journey that will head up to Route 66 Raceway (Joliet, Illinois) for day two, then back to Indiana on the third day where we take over the Allen County War Memorial in Fort Wayne. The group will then head east to Monroe, Michigan, for a day at its fairgrounds. This year’s Power Tour finale takes place at the legendary Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, Ohio.
Jason Moulton, senior director of motorsports at Mickey Thompson Tires, told HOT ROD, “Mickey Thompson has been a part of the Pro Street and muscle car community from the beginning. We carry on that legacy with our Sportsman S/R and Sportsman S/T products. It is an honor to be a part of the HOT ROD Power Tour and Pro Street Alley this year.” Several cars will be wearing Mickey Thompson tires, including Mike Cotten’s 1980 Dodge Mirada, a wildly painted ride that epitomizes the Pro Street movement.
Moulton and the Pro Street enthusiasts aren’t the ones excited for this year’s show. HOT ROD’s network director Mike Galimi also shared his excitement. “Pro Street has been seeing such a resurgence over the past few years, and this region of the country is a hotbed for these style builds. This type of car exploded on fairgrounds throughout the Midwest during the 1980s, and we are happy to give them a place on Power Tour. Our editorial team is expecting some wild machines to join the road trip; the Pro Street cars from last year’s Power Tour West was just a teaser of what to expect this time around.”
