Default new 325/40/18 M&H

For us that do not want to go widebody these somewhat new M&H drag radials may be the ticket to better 60' times. Taller tire with a bigger footprint.
I presently use the widened 18" fronts widened 2.5" on the rears (spin's recipe) with 305mt's.

The M&H 325/40 is 28" tall and should fit in a C6 with the right rim (spin's) and the inner wells removed + a retune? 11" rims are recomended.

Anyone using them? Comments. Funny how the 305 is wider.

Very similiar tread pattern to the MT ET street radials. I wonder how they compare?

Why not go 305/45/18 Mickey Thompson? Much better tire and its the same height.

Looked at that tire before but assumed they would not fit. Are they not 28.8"?
Gonna look again at size needs dude thanx. Thought 28" was max.
Is an MT that much better than M&H? Mustang guys like them. Not much talk on this forum about M&H or in my back yard.
Tell ya, my 69 Chevelle could never hook up with a huge 295/65/15 M&H but came out like gangbusters with a hoosier smallish slick.
Gotta know what the best tire is out there now for lowest 60' times in a C6 with spin's rim.
Thanx for your input.

I have the MTs on my car. They only measure 28" with a tape measure. Go to a drag race and look at everybodys tires. There's a reason EVERYONE bought MTs!!!!!

M&H's are WAY better than MT.... We run M&H on everything we can.

If you're talking about their drag radial they are a sticky tire but not streetable.

It is unsafe to operate any Hoosier Racing Tire including DOT tires on public roads.

I wouldn't run any drag radials on the street. They are all dangerous in wet conditions. The Hoosier drag radial is 5lbs lighter(per tire)than M/T"s.
