M&H drag radials?

Anybody use them? If so how do you like them?

http://www.mandhtires.com/store.php?...on=show_detail

Reason I'm looking at them is they are the only one I've found with a 28" tall drag radial that'll fit a stock GTA wheel(275/55R16)

Thanks in advance,
Steve

How did they work on your stick car? What kind of 60's did you get?

he's asking about the M&H tires, not Mickey Thompson.

i have no real world experience with them myself but know a few guys running them on some old nova's up in New England with decent luck. i'd say stick with what's been tried and true: Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials for the auto cars and an ET Street bias ply for stick cars.

I agree with you and wish I could but M&H is the only company making a 28" tall drag radial for a 16" rim, and the two sizes that M/T are suppoed to come out with, 295/50R16 and 315/45R16, really arent what I'm looking for to fit a stock 16x8 GTA wheel. Just wish they'd make a 275/55R16

so try it, i'm sure they work well...M&H used to be the slick to have back in the day, i'm sure they have kept up with modern technology, i mean, they'd have to to market the tires in todays day in age.

I'd say that's flawed logic. MT just came out with the newest and most kick *** drag radial ever and sucks with stick cars. Why would MH be any better or even nearly as good. If they were their DRs would be more common.

It sucks that there is no 28" ET Street for ya though!

what difference does that make? he's running a th400. i can only go by what i've seen and heard with the M&H's. that is a few guys in new england running a second gen camaro and a 69 or so nova having no problem toting the tires on this same DR way passed the 60' mark.

I tried the 305/40/16's when they first came out in the late 80's. They were the best out there at the time. And they are still pretty decent, at least about 10 years ago. I put them on my 96 WS6 and they went the same as Nittos, 1.7x all day long with my M6. But the Nittos were 17" vs the M&H's 16". Never tried them on the TTA as the Nittos were doing very low 1.6's.

The M&H's are extremely thin, at least they used to be. Didn't take much for something to go the tire.
