I have a set of MT ET streets on mine 315/30/R18 and they hook, in fact ask Rplaster he took the wheels off of mine and tried it on his blower car and they made a big difference over his drag radial I was told.

When I had the 100 shot of nitrous I was 517RWHP and 541 lbs of torque (Mustang Dyno) and I could hook in first gear on the N20 no problem once I cleaned the tires off a bit

I know this is slightly old but I was curious as to this too. Right now, I'm running the BFG Drag Radials (345-30-18) and I'm thinking of switching to the MT 345-35-18's. How much of a different size are they and how do they compare performance?

Still waiting for feedback on this thread. I would prefer using one brand all around, however availability may be my decision maker.

My 1st choice is tire sizes:
Front: 265/40/18 - MT
Rear: P345/35/18 - MT or MH

Front:
MT has a 265/40/18 (preferable front)
M&H has a 275/45/18 (to wide and tall for me)

Rear:
All the way 345/35/18, (wish a 355 or 365 in 35/18 size were available) MT or M&H, price and availability are decision makers.

MT:Out of stock
Soft Compound For Superior Traction On The Drag Strip
Radial Construction for Excellent Ride Control on the Street
Polyester Ply, Steel Belted for Strength and Durability
D.O.T. Approved

Part # 3788R
Size: P345/35R18
Equivalent: 28X13.50 R18
Appx. Weight: 35
Compound Approved: R2
Rims Measuring: 11.0-13.0
Rim Sidewall: 12
Width Tread: 13.9
Width Overall: 12.8
Diameter: 27.5
Circumference: 86

M&H: In Stock
Part #

When I first mini-tubbed my car I had 345/35/18 Pilot Sports (now discontinued) and those things were the perfect all around tire tire. Now I'm just witing till my M/T ET streets are gone to try the M/H 345's or hopefully the M/T

How are the M/T's and M&H as far as sidewalls. I love the way the BFG's hook, but they float to much at high speeds and in turns.

From a 275/17 M/T drag radial to a 295/18 BFG drag radial the cornering department was the same, absolute crap But straight line was always good.
