M&H and Mickey Thompson joined BFG and Nitto in producing drag radials. They all make a 275/60/15 which I think would make for a great test and magazine article. Anybody have any experience with either the M&H or MTs? www.intercotire.com/html/m-h-racemaster.htm www.mickeythompsontires.com/press.html www.nittotire.com/tires_555r.asp www.bfgoodrichtires.com/bfgapp/catalog/tires/comptadragradial.jsp
I didn't realize M&H was making a drag radial. The cool thing is, it looks like they make a matching 28" tall front runner. I don't know of any of the other manufacturers that make a skinny "radial" front runner.
I have a brand new pair of the Nittos. I need another pair for my other G-body. I think I am going the try either the MTs or M&Hs. Bring the business back to the states. I have not priced any of them yet. My concerns are that the M&H will be super soft and wear out to quickly and that the MTs will be terrible in the rain. Would like to hear of any info anybody has on either tire.
Hey Vern, I don't think anyone's had the chance to TRY the MT ET Streets yet! They do mention that they will be available SOON, though!:Brow: M&H's, o No: I'm familiar with the old bias-plies, never knew they produced radials!uzzled:
I called Jegs and Summit and neither have the M/T ET Street Radials 275/60-15 in stock. The call I made was on the weekend so neither could tell me how long it would take to get them either. I am going to try and get some M&H's instead (front and rear) Jegs didn't have any info on the M&H radials. I'm going to contact M&H directly and see what the deal is.
I'm also interested in these new Drag Radials. I didn't know M-H was joining the game but the more the better ! May help keep prices in line if there's a little competition. I called MT last week and they said Jegs & Summit should have them in April sometime. I plan on buying the MT's. According to MT they're going to be better than the BF's "Hands Down" (At least thats what the guy on the phone said) If I can round up another set of rims I'm going to take both the BF's and the MT's to the track on the same day so I can get accurate results from both brands on the same day & track. Has anyone heard anything about the M-H Brand ? ? (Test results, expectations, etc. . .)
I already have new Nittos on my Buick. I typically only drive it in nice weather so if I were shopping for it I would try the MTs for it. But my Cutlass is going to be a drive it rain or shine car so I think I am going to try the M&Hs for it. I am concerned the MTs would be like the BFGs in that they would be unsafe in the rain.
